It is a must-see as it is the largest fresh produce market in Europe. It is also an emblematic modernist building full of decorative allusions to the products of the orchards and gardens of Valencia. Built mostly on iron columns inspired by the Eiffel Tower, tile and stained glass, a combo of unparalleled architectural appeal.

It houses nearly 300 stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, cheeses, fish and seafood, as well as spices and nuts.

Church of Santos Juanes (San Juan del Mercado)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Los Juanes del Mercado, short Santos Juanes (Saint John) or Valencian Sant Joan del Mercat, is a Roman Catholic church near the center of Valencia in the market district and opposite the Llotja de la Seda. It is also called Real Parroquia de los Santos Juanes (Royal Parish of Saint John). It is a Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional.

In the mid-13th century a church was built on the site of a former mosque, initially in the Gothic style. But a fire interrupted the construction. Another major fire in 1592 forced a new building in the Baroque style, which was financed by the Archbishop and Viceroy Juan de Ribera. It was not completed until 1700. All around was the Boatella district, where the workers lived outside the city walls, including the Moriscos.

The main facade contains a bricked-up rose window from the older church, which is also called “O of John”. A niche in the square rear building of the apse facing the Silk Exchange Square contains a group of stucco Virgen del Rosario statues by Jacopo Bertesi. The baby Jesus holds his hand on the globe. At the top there is a clock tower, and a roofline supports the statues of the two Johns: the Baptist, the Evangelist, and then Saints Francesco Borgia and Luis Bertrán.

Inside, statues depicted the Twelve Tribes of Israel and frescoes by Antonio Palomino depicted the triumphant church. It was partially destroyed in the Spanish Civil War.

Valencia Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The style of Valencia Cathedral is predominantly Gothic and the building was previously an ancient Roman temple and later a mosque, although many elements from other time periods can also be found, from the Romanesque style to the Baroque. Work on the current building began in the 13th century with a Latin cross, ambulatory and dome over the crossbeam. In the fifteenth century, the chapter house, the dome, the Miguelete and the door of the apostles were built. Also striking are the iron gate in Baroque style and the Palau or Almoina gate in Romanesque style.

Palace of Posts and Telegraphs of Valencia

Highlight • Monument

In 1914, the design of the post office was announced by architect Miguel Angel Navarro. A while later, in 1915, the construction of the Palacio de Correos y Telégrafos started. Seven years later the building was finished, but it was not immediately put into use. It was not until 1923 that the building was inaugurated as a post office.

Valencia is worth a trip. A very beautiful old town with many sights, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Today we took the metro to Valencia. The station is only 5 minutes away from our pitch. It was a very basic station and we had a lot of fun having to stop the train with a hand signal. There were definitely a few standing here who watched the passing train with their mouths open 🤣.

Since I still have time before I leave later, I really wanted to see the old town of Valencia.
And it is really worth seeing with its magnificent palaces and churches.

There is something wrong with the recording... we were not on any tower and were strolling slowly... neither altitude display nor speed is silent

I really liked it. The city is clean, houses 5 and more-storey. There is something in every street and side street. In one tour churches, squares and old buildings. Simply stunning, simply gorgeous.

Today we arrived in Valencia. We took the shuttle bus to the Santa Maria church and the bridge to the old town gate. There we were greeted by students with a folk dance. We continued through the beautiful old town with great houses, churches and many squares. There was a lot going on everywhere. Even an ice skating rink was …
