Valencia Cathedral preserves an agate cup that is widely believed to be the actual Holy Grail used by Jesus at the Last Supper. King Alfonso the Magnanimous brought the relic to Valencia in 1424, and it has been housed in the cathedral since. The cathedral has a dedicated chapel for it, and the city is recognized by the Vatican as a “Jubilee city” due to the relic’s significance.
