Edificio del Centro Cultural Bancaja

The Edificio del Centro Cultural Bancaja is a cultural center in Valencia's historic core that occupies two connected buildings and displays exhibitions covering various art topics. The spaces distribute across multiple levels with differently designed areas for various collections and events.

The main building was completed in 1891 following a design that incorporates French architectural elements, while the second structure went up in the 1930s. Both buildings were later connected and reworked to serve their current function as exhibition space.

The center displays artworks from different periods and encourages visitors to explore collections that reflect regional and broader artistic traditions. The space functions today as a place where art enthusiasts and curious passersby move through the galleries together.

The center welcomes visitors on several weekdays and weekend days with divided opening hours at midday and evening. It makes sense to check ahead which exhibitions are currently running to plan the best time for your visit.

The venue was created by joining a former private residence with a historic bank building, showing how different architectural styles can be merged harmoniously. This convergence of private and institutional history makes the center a striking example of urban transformation and adaptive reuse.
