Mudéjar-Morisco Quarter of Arrabal

It is said that it was the last site of the Mudejar-Moorish in Valencia. The neighborhood was created in the fourteenth century within the walled city. Very showy for its picturesque streets, winding paths and sites of historical and cultural interest.

As you enter this neighborhood, you can explore its streets laid out since the 14th century and discover the dramatic story of the Viscount de Chelva, who was murdered for his love with a Moorish woman. This tragic event led to the origin of the Hermitage of the Desamparados. Furthermore, the Mudéjar-Moorish neighborhood of Arrabal is the place where the Chelva dagger was forged, a privilege of the Chelvanos that was prohibited by the king. Here, the sound of the water from the irrigation ditches, the coolness of the portals and alleys, the fountains and the stones carved into the wall will transport you to times gone by.🏰🌿
