Explore Valencia and the Silk Exchange

Our adventure begins at the designated meeting point in Plaza de los Fueros, located adjacent to the iconic Serranos Towers. This medieval fortress once sheltered invaluable works of art from the Prado Museum during the Spanish Civil War, a fact that you will discover along with many others regarding the towers. From there, we will proceed to the beautiful Plaza de San Lorenzo, where we will take in the exquisite exterior of the Valencian Courts.

We will continue our exploration at Plaza de Manises, which faces the local government office. As we approach Plaza de la Virgen, you will learn intriguing tales about this governmental institution. In this vibrant square, admire the architectural grandeur of the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the rear facade of Valencia Cathedral, along with the celebrated Miguelete bell tower.

Next, we will visit the stunning Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange). Within this majestic Gothic structure, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, we will delve into the narrative of Valencia during the 15th and 16th centuries—an era of remarkable commercial prosperity that was particularly evident in this marketplace.

The tour concludes near Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where you will also have the chance to see notable landmarks such as the Bull Ring and the Estación del Norte, a stunning example of modernist architecture.
