The tour will begin at one of Valencia's most iconic architectural symbols: the Torres de Serranos. These gates, built in the 14th century, represent a key period in the city's history.
We will then head to Plaza de la Virgen, a place filled with beauty and significance. In this setting, you will feel how medieval history comes to life, transporting you back in time.
A century earlier, in the 13th century, the conquest of Valencia by King James I marked a phase of urban transformation that left a lasting impact. As we stroll through the vibrant streets of the old town, we’ll observe the contrasts between different eras.
A must-see is the Cathedral of Valencia, one of the main symbols of the medieval city. Its bell tower, known as El Miguelete, partly designed by Pere Balaguer, holds a fascinating story... Do you know it?
Another essential stop is the Silk Exchange (La Lonja de la Seda), a prime example of Valencian Gothic architecture. We’ll admire its imposing façade and the various architectural styles that reflect Valencia’s commercial past. Have you ever wondered why this activity was so important to its people?
Throughout the tour, you will uncover legends that have nearly faded into oblivion, while others still endure, offering you a new perspective on this fascinating city.
