Valencia is one of Spain's most important cities, boasting a long and fascinating history influenced by various cultures including the Moors, Christians, and Romans. This diverse heritage is vividly reflected in the city's architecture and atmosphere.
VALENCIA
On March 19, Las Fallas dedicated to San José take over the streets of the capital and as well as 60 other towns in the province. Large cardboard figures invade the streets of the entire city, later to be burned surrounded by a burst of lights and noise, triggered by fireworks. This party attracts a large audience from all over the world.
Town Hall Square
With a round fountain, florists' kiosks and the statue of Francesc de Vinatea (1273-1333), the vast town hall square is the meeting point where locals come together for important occasions. The town hall, built in 1915, presents an eclectic façade (sculptures by Mariano Benlliure). Opposite, the main post office can be distinguished by its dome with a neoclassical decorations of garlands, flowers and ribbons.
Carmen’s Neighbourhood
This thousand-year-old city neighbourhood grew between two walls, the Muslim and the Christian. The emblematic neighbourhood is situated in the city’s old quarter, the Ciutat Vella, and takes its name from the Carmen Calzado convent, the church and adjacent square. It is, for all intents and purposes, the authentic historical centre of Valencia.

It is one of the largest urban natural parks in Spain, a green space of more than 9 km that crosses the city with recreational and sports areas and romantic places to get lost. With 18 bridges, the trace of centuries of history, the old riverbed touches on both banks with some of the main museums and monuments of the city. This garden is built on the old riverbed of the Turia River, which was diverted to avoid the continuous flooding that the city suffered. In addition, it is bounded by the Parque de Cabecera and the Bioparc on the west side, and the City of Arts and Sciences on the opposite side.
