The character of the walk

Two pairs of city gates define the walk, while the market and exchange reveal the centre’s trading history. The cathedral’s tower and facades can be compared without climbing the Miguelete. The market follows its own opening schedule; a closure does not prevent viewing the building and neighbouring streets

Landmarks along the way

Torres de Serranos: medieval gates beside the former Turia riverbed; Valencia Cathedral: a cathedral with the Miguelete tower between old-town squares; Llotja de la Seda: a late-Gothic building associated with the city’s trade

Central Market, Valencia: a covered market with metal structures and ceramic decoration; Torres de Quart: two massive towers on the western side of the old town
