Guided Tour of Valencia and the Silk Exchange

The tour begins at the designated time with a walk through the old town of Valencia at Plaza de los Fueros, in front of the Serranos Towers, which housed several works of art from the Prado Museum during the Spanish Civil War. Next, we proceed to Plaza de San Lorenzo to observe the exterior decoration of the Valencian Courts.

We will then visit Plaza de Manises, opposite the local government headquarters, before walking to Plaza de la Virgen. Here, we will admire the architecture of the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the rear side of Valencia Cathedral alongside the Miguelete bell tower.

Our next stop is the impressive Lonja de la Seda, a Gothic building recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will explore the history of Valencia during the 15th and 16th centuries, a period marked by commercial growth.

The tour concludes around Plaza del Ayuntamiento, where we will see monuments such as the Bull Ring and the Estación del Norte train station, noted for its modernist style.
