Join me on a walking tour of València Spain on the last stop before Barcelona during our transatlantic cruise on Oasis of the Seas May 2024.
The city of Valencia, Spain is often referred to as "The City of the Three Cultures." This nickname reflects the historical influence of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures in the city, which have shaped its architecture, traditions, and overall identity.
València, Spain is a city with a rich history spanning over 2,000 years. It was founded by the Romans in 138 B.C. as Valentia Edetanorum and has since been influenced by various cultures, including the Visigoths, Moors, and Christians. The city experienced significant growth during the 15th century, known as the Golden Century, due to its economic expansion and artistic productivity. This period saw the construction of notable landmarks such as the Serranos Towers and the Torres de Quart.
The city is known for its stunning architecture, including the Valencia Cathedral, the Torres de Serrano, the Torres de Quart, and the Silk Exchange (La Lonja). These structures showcase a blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. The City of Arts and Sciences, a modern architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava, is a must visit for its futuristic design and cultural significance.
