“The Light of San Nicolás”: an immersive experience in Valencia
Categories: exhibitions.
TOURISTIC AREA: Historical center
The Church of San Nicolás is reinventing itself with a video mapping project that will make you see this architectural heritage in a whole new light.
Get ready to discover the church of San Nicolás as you’ve never seen it before. This jewel in the heart of Valencia is unveiling a new installation that will leave you speechless: “The Light of San Nicolás” is an immersive experience that combines history, art and cutting-edge technology to reveal the secrets of one of the city’s most impressive churches.
It is a fully immersive sensory experience, brought to life by over 50 professionals using movie-quality technical equipment.
You can get your tickets here.
So, what will you find?
Three new permanent experiences:
-
A tribute to beauty: videomapping on the Baroque vault —yes, the one that has earned it the nickname ‘the Valencian Sistine Chapel’— to pay homage to the frescoes and sacred art.
-
The Heartbeat of St. Nicholas: the parish’s history is presented on interactive totems that allow visitors to navigate through time and learn about its main milestones with original music and animations.
-
Lux ex oriente: a ‘window of light’ that creates a contemplative and contemplative experience introduced by the symbols or attributes of the parish’s patron saint, Saint Nicholas.
If you’ve already been to San Nicolás, now’s the time to come back. If you haven’t visited yet, don’t miss out on being one of the first to try this new way of discovering it.
And the best thing is, it’s here to stay! This isn’t a temporary exhibition; you can enjoy it all year round.
