Learn about Valencia’s past life as the City of Silk
Let’s travel back in time to the 14th to 18th centuries, when the silk trade was the lifeblood of the city. You can track the footprints of this past thanks to a guided tour which takes you to fascinating places like the Silk Exchange, one of Valencia’s most beautiful buildings, with 15 late-Gothic vaults and columns that spread out like palm trees. This route also stops at the Silk Museum, in the Velluters district where the silk-weavers used to work, and in a shop selling traditional Valencian costume.
