Overview

• Valencia City Council and the Archdiocese presented the immersive museography concept today, highlighting a narrative that moves from the Chalice’s tangible origins to its status as a cultural symbol.
• The Centro de Interpretación del Santo Cáliz will occupy the Casa del Relojero next to Valencia Cathedral and is set to open in 2027 with the capacity to host 50,000 visitors annually.
• The project’s budget exceeds €3 million and will integrate cutting-edge technological displays designed to evoke emotion and underscore the relic’s historical and spiritual dimensions.
• Under a new partnership, Fundación Iberdrola will light up the entire Cathedral, including the Miguelete tower, to create a cohesive aesthetic and improve the center’s surroundings.
• Officials intend to apply for ‘exceptional public interest’ status this autumn during the third Jubilee Year of the Santo Cáliz to secure broader recognition and boost tourism.
