Guided Tour of Valencia and the Silk Exchange

The guided walk starts at the indicated time in the Plaza de los Fueros, in front of the Serranos Towers. Learn about the historical significance of these medieval towers, which housed art from the Prado Museum during the Spanish Civil War, before heading to the Plaza de San Lorenzo square to view the Valencian Courts' exterior.

The next stop is Plaza de Manises, where you will hear stories about the local government before walking to the nearby Plaza de la Virgen square. Here, admire the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the back of Valencia Cathedral, along with the Miguelete bell tower.

Next, visit the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its medieval Gothic architecture while learning about Valencia’s commercial peak during the 15th and 16th centuries, reflected in the history of this market.

The tour concludes around the Plaza del Ayuntamiento square, where you will see notable monuments such as the Bull Ring and the Estación del Norte train station, an example of modernist architecture.
