Over 10.000 visits to the website of The Light of Images of Segorbe exhibition have been recorded

The website of The Light of Images of Segorbe exhibition has had a total number of 10.517 visits since last September 2001, the date on which the exhibition was opened

Most of the Internet browsers - 8,027 of them - accessed the contents of www.laluzdelasimagenes.com directly, through the exhibition website. The site also allows visitors to learn about the contents of the exhibition in three languages. The number of users who have visited the site in the Spanish version comes to 5,707, while 2,070 have used the text in Valencian. 250 accesses have been made through the English version of the page. The other entries to the website of The Light of Images of Segorbe, 2,490, were made indirectly, by means of links with other pages on the web.

The website provides a virtual visit to the exhibition. Before starting the trip, a "voice-over" describes the origins of the diocese. The description also looks at the recovery and restoration of Valencian heritage as the aim of the Valencian Community Light of Images Foundation. From the cover page one can gain access to the three buildings which house the 600 pieces in the exhibition, in a detailed visit with the history of each building, its architectural style and images of the items that this exhibits, classified into four groups, like the exhibition itself: painting, precious metalwork, fabrics and documents.


Browsable photographs and music


In the section on the Cathedral the website provides browsable photographs of the cloister, the Chapterhouse and the central nave. Visitors can also download the most representative images of the different exhibition zones of the Cathedral, such as the cloister, the choir, the nave, the chapels or the apse. To round off the visit to the Cathedral you can hear the sound of music created by the temple maestros harmonising the different exhibition spaces. The same possibility is available in the access to Sant Martín church, which exhibits painting, precious metalwork and fabrics. The route is completed with the visit to the church of San Joaquín y Santa Ana, at which there is also a look at the history of the building, with images of the painting, metalwork, fabrics and documents on show at the temple.

In another of its links the website also allows the visitor to find out about the restoration process with diverse emblematic works of the exhibition. The history of the item, the state of preservation in which this was found and the treatment that has been applied to restore paintings such as the tondi and the apse of the cathedral or the Saint Luke altarpiece. The website www.laluzdelasimagenes.com also gives full information about the complementary events for the exhibition, such as the series of concerts given or the presence of The Light of Images at different tourist events in order to promote the exhibition, closely connected with local tourism. This is why the website for the exhibition also gives access to the hotel, tourist, culture and leisure possibilities available in Segorbe and in the different towns and villages of Alto Palancia, such as Soneja, Altura, Viver, Jérica, Algimia de Almonacid or Caudiel, apart from information about Valencia, Castellón or the routes existing around the Sierra de Espadán or Sierra Calderona ranges

www.laluzdelasimagenes.com also lets you get in touch with the foundation to reserve tickets to visit the exhibition, find out all the information connected with this or learn about the personalities who come to Segorbe to look around the three venues for the exhibition covering the history of the diocese.
