The La Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange) in Valencia is an absolute architectural masterpiece of the late Gothic period, built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries as a trading center for the flourishing silk market. Due to its impressive, cathedral-like halls and its historical significance for European trade, the building has long been part of the official UNESCO World Heritage. Today, the complex attracts countless visitors from all over the world with its detailed halls, peaceful orange tree courtyard, and charming flair.

Truly ridiculous price: €2 to admire one of the most fascinating architectures in Valencia! The hall with its helical columns where mercantile negotiations for the silk trade once took place is a marvel! It seems to anticipate Gaudí's ideas by centuries... The garden is also truly beautiful, as is the upstairs hall with its decorated and entirely original wooden beams! Look closely at all the bases of the vault ribs, the decorations of the doors, the windows... they are incredible!
