 Dedicated to Medicine & Pharmacology |
Avenida de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez 17 Valencia 46010 Spain +34 96 386 4164 |
The Historical-Medical museum is situated inside the School of Medicine of the University of Valencia. It was created by the donation of instruments, materials and iconografic works owned by the school, and has since grown even more, thanks to the donations made by others. The main room is dedicated to paleo-medicine, with a philogentic tree of the human species. There is also a display on classical Greek, Chinese and Indian medicines. Pharmacopoeia is in a separate hall and includes medicinal plants along with a description of Valencian natural medicines still used to this day. You can also visit an exhibition of objects from medical laboratories dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Admission: free Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Feast Day of Valencia's Patron Saint |
Plaza de Zaragoza, s/n Valencia 46003 Spain |
San Vicente Mártir's Feast Day is held on January 22. He is the (male) Patron Saint of Valencia. The Saint was killed by order of Roman Emperor Diocleciano in 304 A.D. The cathedral still preserves one of the Saint's intact arms. The main event on this Feast Day is the General Procession to all the religious spots where popular legend has it the future Saint would be martirized. These acts are then followed by a Papal Mass held by the Archbishop in the cathedral. The last event is a mass held according to the Hispano-Mozarabic rites in the sepulchre of the basilica, also known as La Roqueta. Review © 2007, Wcities |
