City of Arts and Sciences
The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is a cultural and architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. It is one of the most important modern tourist destinations in Spain and a great example of modern architecture. The complex is made up of several buildings, including the Hemisfèric — an IMAX cinema, planetarium and laserium; the Umbracle — a landscaped walk with plant species indigenous to Valencia; the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe — an interactive museum of science; the Oceanogràfic — an open-air oceanographic park; and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía — an opera house and performing arts center.
The Silk Exchange
La Lonja de la Seda, or The Silk Exchange, is a late Valencian Gothic-style civil building in Valencia. Constructed between 1482 and 1548, the building was originally used for trading silk, which gave it its name. It is considered one of the most stunning buildings representing the golden age of Valencia. Ornate stonework and a beautiful interior courtyard make it a must-visit site, symbolizing the city's mercantile power and wealth during the 15th and 16th centuries. It is one of Spain's 48 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Central Market
The Central Market of Valencia is a public market located across from La Lonja de la Seda and is one of the largest markets in Europe. Built in 1928, it features a combination of Valencian Art Nouveau and modern architectural elements. This bustling market is a feast for the senses, offering fresh produce, meats, seafood, and local delicacies. The beautiful iron, glass, and tile work, combined with lively vendors, make this market both a culinary and visual treat. It's a vibrant place that embodies the culinary richness and cultural traditions of Valencia.
