If you want to explore the interesting historical areas in Valencia, you should visit the architectural complex Llotja de la Seda. It is a complex of beautiful buildings in the Gothic style. They were built in the 15th-16th centuries. The buildings were used for the silk trade. The best architects and artists of Spain worked on the construction of the silk exchange buildings. Joan Corbera and Domingo de Urteaga were directly involved in the construction of the building.

Interesting excursions are conducted through old buildings today. You can see the most impressive premises of the exchange during the tour. The Contract Room is considered the main one. It impresses with its scale and rich decoration. The ceiling height in the room is more than 17 meters. Inscriptions with the rules of trade are preserved on the walls in this room. The rooms, in which debtors were kept previously, are preserved on the top floor of the main palace. They served as a kind of prison.

The garden surrounding the architectural complex is no less interesting. You can admire not only the ancient trees but also the ancient sculptures in it. Many travelers prefer to visit the architectural complex in the evening. Spectacular artistic lighting adorns historic buildings at this time. Llotja de la Seda is located on the market square in the heart of the historic district. You can visit it for free several times a week. To beginning
