Explora el fascinante pasado de Valencia y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Founded as the Roman colony of 'Valentia Edetanorum' in 138 BC, it was an important enclave.After the fall of Rome, it passed through Visigoth hands and flourished greatly under Muslim rule as 'Balansiya', a Taifa capital known for its poetry and gardens.
The 15th century was the Valencian Golden Age. The city became an economic power in the Mediterranean thanks to the silk trade, leaving as a legacy the spectacular Lonja de la Seda, a World Heritage Site, and a rich Gothic heritage.
The great flood of the Turia River in 1957 changed the city forever.The riverbed was diverted and the Turia Garden was created in its old bed, an immense urban park that is the lung of the city.At the end of the 20th century, the construction of the City of Arts and Sciences projected it as an icon of avant-garde architecture.
