An interesting architectural structure is the Edificio de Correos y Telegrafos, the construction of which began in 1915. Three styles were mixed here: modernism, baroque and classicism. A very beautiful facade with sculptures of winged creatures, clocks, emblems, and ornaments will immediately attract your attention, as well as the elegant steel tower. The Ayuntamiento de Valencia is another public institution, thanks to which friendly envy is felt towards those who were lucky enough to work in such a beautiful building. The building is luxurious – richly decorated facade with columns, sculptures, clocks and some symbols of the city contribute to this.
One of the oldest buildings in the city is the La Lonja de la Seda. It was built in the 15th century and was a guild house where silk was traded. Spiral columns, arched ceilings, and marble floors make a special impression. Nearby you can find the tower where dishonest traders were punished in the olden days. The place is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around here you can wander into the liveliest place in Valencia – namely, the Mercat Central. The market is interesting not only in terms of the fact that you can buy all sorts of goods here but also from an architectural point of view.
