Tour description

At the end of the 19th century, coinciding with the demolition of the city walls and the construction of the city expansion, the Valencian bourgeoisie lives a splendor process that will be materialized in the beautification of its city with a then fashionable aesthetic throughout Europe.

We will begin with the visit of the North Train Station, Central Market and the house Punt de Ganxo (1902), so called because the decoration of its facade recalls a crochet stitch.

We will continue along the streets Colón, to visit the Columbus Market, street Sorní, Ramilletes and Marqués del Turia Avenue, in search of other beautiful modernist homes, such as the House of Dragons (1901), Casa Ordeig (1907), Casa Chapa (1916) and Casa Ferrer (1908), among others.
