Valencia City Centre

Valencia was founded in the year 138 B.C by the Romans, who established their Forum in the Plaza de la Almoina, under which lies today a museum of Roman ruins. After the Romans, the Visigoths arrived in Valencia but in 714, the Muslims established control of the city, a situation that lasted until 1238 when King Jaime I of Valencia ousted them. The Arabs left a profound legacy with their irrigation systems, recipes and artistic influences that are relevant and noticeable right up to the present day.

In the City Centre, visitors can find many sights, including The Cathedral, Miguelete Tower, Plaza de la Virgen, La Lonja de la Seda, The City Hall, The Market Hall, and Mercado Colon.
