What to see in Valencian Community?
Central Market of Valencia
Traditional market of Valencia in which you will find more than 300 stalls of fresh and local products. It opened in 1928 and stands out for its spectacular architecture and its stained glass windows, which make it one of the most visited buildings in Valencia. In addition, it is one of the largest markets in Europe.
The Market of Valencia
La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia is a civil Gothic building declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Inside you will discover its impressive Salón Columnario or Salón de Contratación, the Patio de Naranjos and the Torreón where the chapel of the Inmaculada is located on the first floor and the upper floors that were created as a prison for defaulters.
Round Square of Valencia
This square is located in the center of Valencia, with its eye-catching three-storey circular construction surrounded by small traditional shops, where you can buy handicrafts, embroidery, fabrics, souvenirs from Valencia, and tapas bars located on the ground floor. In the center of the Plaza Redonda, there is a fountain installed from where you can see the bell tower of Santa Catalina.
Valencia Cathedral and Miguelete
The Cathedral of Valencia or Cathedral of the Holy Chalice is a building that combines several architectural styles. From the impressive Gothic door of the Apostles, the miguelete and the dome in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, through the various Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical styles, until the twenty-first century. Of great beauty, it also is noted for the quality of its paintings by various artists, including Francisco de Goya, for its choir and altarpiece. But, undoubtedly, the undisputed protagonist of the Valencian cathedral is the Holy Chalice, which is located in the chapel of the same name. This chalice dates from the Alexandrian period and is considered the Holy Grail. Although there are some skeptics due to its medieval appearance, the truth is that the relic is the agate cup, the upper part of the chalice, a precious Alexandrian cup of oriental origin that archaeologists consider to date from the years 100 to 50 BC. The lower part (the foot, the handles and the naveta supporting the cup), would have been added later, in medieval times. Hence the gold, pearls and precious stones and the alabaster vessel in Islamic style.
Carmen neighborhood, Valencia
Located in the district of Ciutat Vella, in the heart of the city, the Barrio del Carmen is the authentic historical center of Valencia and one of the largest medieval neighborhoods in Europe.

Formerly delimited by a Muslim wall, the medieval remains that are preserved today are the Serranos Towers and the Quart Towers. In El Carmen you will find the centenary Plaza del Árbol, the Portal de la Valldigna and the small Casa de los Gatos. In addition, this neighborhood is famous for its street art, its bohemian style and its museums of contemporary and modern art where the IVAM, the MUVIM and the Centre del Carme stand out. Undoubtedly, a place full of life that has everything, even terraces where you can have tapas or a good Valencian paella.
