10 Historic Sites in Valencia That You Shouldn't Miss
You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

Sitting in between the two main Plazas of De La Virgen and De La Reina, this Cathedral dominates both squares its impressive Gothic architecture all around and its Migulete Tower which reaches high above the city centre itself. Inside, the Cathedral presents a treasure trove of side chapels, architecture, Goya paintings and a museum with an array of historical religious artifacts which includes a trip into tiny rooms where some archaeological digs have been preserved. Of course, its main treasure is the "Holy Grail" housed in a small chapel in the side where you can sit and gaze and take it in hushed respectful silence. Whether you believe it is the true Holy Grail or not, it is of great historical importance anyway, and a must see when in Valencia. I have been to the Cathedral de Santa Maria (Royal Cathedral in Madrid) and it does not come close to this one. We paid 8 Euro each to enter, and a further 2 Euro for myself to go up the Tower....some might complain about having to pay....but it is worth every penny and more to witness and amaze at such well preserved history.

At 2 euros entrance fee plus a couple more for the audio guide, the Lonja is well worth a visit whilst touring the city. I fully concur with the other reviews I have read about this charming place.

Large guard towers that used to protect the ancient city.
Reviewed By navat2014 - Maryland, United States
Torres de Serranos was once the gateway to the north and Barcelona and is situated in the trendy area of Barrio del Carmen in the north east of the old town. One of the two remnants of the ancient walled city of Valencia (the other being Torres de Quart.) Part of the walls fortifications, surrounding and protecting the city from intruders. Built between 1392-1398, it served as a prison for the wealthy nobles and knights from 1586-1887. The tower have stood alone since the walls and other gates were demolished at the end of the 19th century to make way for the city’s rapid expansion. I recommend climbing the 132 stairs to the top for beautiful panoramic views of Valencia.

Stunning beach with 1 mile of clean sand. Wide, flat promenade. Reasonably priced cafés and restaurants, all family friendly. Overlooked by a beautiful church built by local fishermen, next to the castle. A traditional Spanish resort.
9. Palacio de Malferit
10. Puerta de la Mar

Reviewed By SteveJacksonnufc - Gateshead, United Kingdom
This wonderfully designed gate construction is a re-build and represents one of the former city wall gates. Erected in 1946 the 'Gateway to the Sea' is a pretty impressive monument, made even more so by the addition of the central cross representing those who lost their lives during the Spanish Civil War. It stands on a roundabout now in Plaza Porta de la Mar and is certainly a strong feature within Valencia.
