Valencia shows its history through the ages, from Roman ruins hidden beneath the Place de la Vierge to the modern buildings of the City of Arts and Sciences. The old town keeps gates from the 15th century like the Torres de Quart, gothic churches with baroque frescos, and the Silk Exchange with its twisted columns that recall the town’s trading past. The Central Market, open since 1928, still has hundreds of stalls where local products are sold. The city is built around the old riverbed of the Turia, turned into a park that connects the older neighborhoods with the new areas. Beaches with soft sand are just a few minutes from the city center along the Mediterranean. The Fine Arts Museum has Spanish paintings from the 14th to the 20th century, while the Oceanographic displays thousands of sea creatures in its underwater towers. Between Gothic cathedrals and modern buildings, Valencia invites visitors to walk its streets and see how old and new parts of the city sit side by side.
