Itinerary
Meet your guide at Torres de Serranos
Gather at the foot of Europe’s largest Gothic city gate to begin your exploration of the ancient Kingdom of Valencia. You will examine the massive stone fortifications and learn how these 14th-century towers functioned as both a defensive stronghold and a ceremonial entrance for visiting monarchs.
Navigate the Barrio del Carmen
Follow your guide into a maze of narrow alleys where the city’s oldest houses lean over the streets. You will see how the neighborhood was built to confuse invaders and discover the hidden boundaries between the ancient Islamic city and the Christian kingdom that eventually took over.
See the Valencia Cathedral and Miguelete
Walk to the main square to view the site where the city’s power has been concentrated for 2,000 years. You will look up at the octagon-shaped bell tower and hear why this specific spot was so valuable that every conquering empire, from Romans to Moors, built their most important temple here.
Observe the Lonja de la Seda
Continue to a building that looks like a castle but was actually built for the pursuit of wealth. You will examine the strange, detailed carvings on the exterior while your guide explains how silk transformed Valencia from a backwater into a global financial powerhouse that funded explorers.
Your tour finishes at Torres de Serranos
The walk ends back at the original gates, completing the loop of the old city limits. Your guide will be happy to provide recommendations for the remainder of your stay in Valencia.
