© The Light of Images, Segorbe 2001

The "Light of Images" is an attempt to recover the rich cultural legacy which has taken shape over the ages in Segorbe. Works of art from the Cathedral itself and others from parishes, museums and private and public collections all reveal the evolution in time and the traces that the past has gradually left in one of the most ancient dioceses in Spain.

This is thus a journey through history, structured in different ages which marked the history of the diocese: the late 14th and 15th centuries, the 16th century, 17th century, late 18th and early 19th centuries.

A visit to what was an Episcopal city from the 13th to the 20th century and now chief centre of Castellón province's Alto Palancia county becomes a unique opportunity to examine roughly 600 works, many of them first-rate and hitherto unknown. It is here that Segorbe's "Light of Images" displays some of the best Valencian works of art of all time, in their full splendour.

The architecture of the city of Segorbe, now restored for this occasion, will act as a chronological guide through the different historical ages which structure the exhibition. Music too is given all due importance, as one of the great facets of Segorbe Cathedral's archives, becoming both part of the event and a complement, and at the same time acting as a setting for each exhibition space.
