Stroll through the medieval heart of Valencia and uncover hidden plazas and secret tales. Delve into Valencia’s medieval history with a licensed guide on this walking tour. Valencia is steeped in history, having been founded by the Romans 2000 years ago, settled by Arabs, and later reclaimed by Christians. It rose to prominence as a cultural capital in Europe, fueled by literature and the economic strength of the silk industry. Silk, which arrived from China and Venice, made Valencia the primary port for this fabric in the Kingdom of Aragon initially, and later in Spain, fostering a significant silk industry. Over time, Valencia ceded its economic dominance to cities like Barcelona and Madrid, but its culture, history, and traditions endured. The remarkable Torres de Serrano, which safeguarded the most important Prado paintings by artists such as Velazquez, Goya, Rembrandt, and Greco during the Spanish Civil War, and the hidden Muslim Walls, now integrated into the urban landscape, are testaments to its rich past.
