Embark on a walking journey through Valencia’s Medieval past with an expert guide. Valencia is steeped with history, established by the Romans 2000 years earlier, settled by Arabs, then reclaimed by Christians. The city grew into a significant cultural hub in Europe due to literary achievements and the prosperous silk trade. Silk was brought in from China and Venice, and Valencia became a notable silk port for the Kingdom of Aragon and later, Spain. This stimulated the growth of a significant Silk industry here. With the passage of time, Valencia transferred its financial reign to cities like Barcelona and Madrid, but held on to its culture, history, and traditions. Discover landmarks like the impressive Torres de Serrano, which safeguarded iconic Prado paintings by artists like Velazquez, Goya, Rembrandt, and Greco during the Spanish Civil War, as well as the concealed Muslim Walls that have inherently become part of the cityscape.
