Valencia, Industrial city in northwestern Venezuela
Valencia extends across central highlands at 490 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains and connected to Puerto Cabello through major transportation routes.
Founded in 1555 by Alonso Díaz Moreno, Valencia served three times as the capital of Venezuela, in 1812, 1830, and 1858.
The University of Carabobo, established in 1852, shapes the educational landscape while the Teatro Municipal presents performances throughout the year.
The metropolitan area connects through an efficient metro system to El Viñedo district and Sambil Mall, which houses the Baseball Museum.
The Plaza Monumental de Valencia contains the second largest bullring worldwide, featuring traditional Spanish-style architecture and regular events.
