North Station

Valencia's North Station is an example of Modernist art at its best. and is found next to the bullring, on Xàtiva Street; built between 1909 and 1917 by Demetrio Ribes. One of its most noteworthy features is the central hall with its beautiful floral mosaics and colorful tilework, while its facade depicts facsimiles of traditional Valencian icons. The bays are as attractive now as they were years ago; elegant and replete with architectural nuances. This building is perhaps a good reflection of the culture in Valencia at the turn of the last century. All of this is now harmoniously mixed with modern transportation technology for a smooth travel experience. The station services both commuter and long-distance trains that link Valencia to its Spanish and farther European neighbors.

Llotja de la Seda

Lonja de la Seda, in Valencia is a civil building which was built during 1482 and 1548. The majestic and splendid, Gothic facade of the structure showcases the city's prime position as a center of mercantile exchange. A must visit tourist attraction, the UNESCO considered it as a World Heritage Site in 1996.

Torres de Quart

You can still see the damage caused to these tall, solid, Gothic towers by French artillery in 1808 during the Peninsular War. They were built in the 15th century by architect Pere Bonfill as an entrance through the medieval defensive wall. The road from here led to the town of Quart de Poblet, hence the name. They're now an official national monument.

Serranos Gate

One of the only two gates to have survived the destruction of the historic city walls in 1865, the Torres de Serranos impress with their sheer enormity and grandeur of scale. Constructed between 1392 and 1398, this massive gateway served as the main entrance to the city and proved to be a fitting choice for ceremonial functions despite the fact that it was originally conceived of as nothing more than an imposing addition to the city's defenses. Designed by Pere Balaguer, the gateway was built upon a remarkable Gothic design, with ornamentations and embellishments that have withstood the test of time. From 1586 to 1887, the Torres de Serranos was re-purposed as a prison for nobility, and has been variously used ever since. Today, the monumental gateway is a popular attraction, is pinnacle affording those who brave the climb fantastic views of the city of Valencia. Composed of a pair of pentagonal towers with a common gallery and architectural nuances galore, the Torres de Serranos is still central to social life in Valencia, and is noted as the host of the opening ceremony of the Fallas each year.
