A Walk Through the City of Arts and Sciences

Valencia is a vibrant city, full of history and tradition, yet at the same time modern and avant-garde. Located on the east coast of Spain, Valencia has a Mediterranean climate that invites you to enjoy the city all year round. It is the third largest city in Spain, and its port is one of the most important in the Mediterranean.

The history of Valencia is ancient and rich. It was founded by the Romans in 138 BC and was later occupied by Visigoths, Arabs, and finally by Christians in the 13th century. Each of these peoples left their mark on the city’s architecture and culture. From the medieval towers to the modernist jewels and the bold contemporary design of the City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia is a city of contrasts where the old meets the new.
