Free Tour Valencia: Historic Center

Would you like to discover Valencia in a different way? A city where every street, every square, and every building hide centuries of history, legends, and fascinating details.

I invite you to explore the historic center of Valencia on a unique free tour, guided by a historian-archaeologist, where we will not only visit the most important places in the city but also learn to interpret, understand, and experience them as if we were traveling back in time.

We will visit the most famous and representative monuments of Valencia, but we won't just stop at the photo: you will discover their history, curiosities, and the secrets that many overlook.

🏛️ During the tour, we will explore over 2,000 years of history:

From the founding of the Roman city of Valentia, through the Visigothic era, the splendor of Muslim Balansiya, the Christian conquest, the medieval and commercial Valencia, to the vibrant and modern city we know today.

Every street in the old town hides a story. Every stone, a detail. Every square, an event that changed the destiny of the city.

🔍 What will we see on this tour?

On our walk, we will discover some of the most impressive and representative monuments of Valencia, such as:

🥗 The Central Market, one of the largest and most beautiful markets in Europe, where we will discover how commerce and gastronomy have always been an essential part of Valencian identity.

🛡️ The majestic Serranos Towers, one of the best-preserved medieval gates in Europe. Here we will learn stories of walls, defenses, kings, and wars, and the key role Valencia played in the Crown of Aragon.

🏺 La Almoina, one of the most surprising archaeological sites in Spain. We will literally walk over history to discover ancient Roman Valentia and understand what life was like in the city almost two thousand years ago.
