The original Image of the Virgin found by Jaime I and San Pedro Nolasco in 1237, is found at the main altar, a Byzantine icon carved in stone and polychrome. Declared by the same Patron King of the Kingdom of Valencia.

In a chapel of the Church, there is the tomb of Father Juan Gilabert Jofré, a Mercedarian religious, founder of the first psychiatric hospital in Christendom and creator of the devotion to the «Virgen de los Desamparados».

The Order of Mercy has been in charge of the guard and custody of the Royal Monastery since its inception.

Romanesque doorway of the Church, moved from its original place, to the west of the Temple, without a mullion or tympanum.

The Church, in primitive Gothic style, preserves elements of neoclassical decoration in some of its chapels.

Bernat Guillem d’Entença’s tomb, Gothic, made of marble and polychrome alabaster.

The Castrense-style patio is an example of the sobriety of the Renaissance.

Highlights the Valencian School collection from the 18^th Century, the Camarín of the Virgin frescoes, painted by José Vergara in 1781 and the Mercedarian Museum stand out.

The Royal Monastery is home to the National Museum of Printing and graphic work.
We have a collection of large facsimiles and an exact copy of the Gutenberg press.

Both in the emblematic building and in its showcases, we find vestiges from the Neolithic period to the present day.

Since Jaime I many monarchs and relatives have come to pay homage to Our Patron.
