Retablo de Estopina
El tramo urbano del Camino de San Vicente Mártir es la culminación y último peldaño de la gloriosa historia del patrón de nuestra ciudad . Aquí defendió su verdad , rechazó la presión del Cónsul Daciano y nos dio una lección de convicción

The city of Valencia, founded by the Romans in the year 138 B.C., reflects its evolution via its archaeological remains and emblematic monuments which have survived the passage of time. To understand its history and to get to know the places which mirror its longstanding society, art and culture, we offer you a tour of the archaeological and historical sites, which are a must on any visit to the city.

La palabra socarrat significa quemado y hace referencia a un tipo de losa cerámica antigua con una sola cocción, mientras que otros tipos de cerámica necesitan dos cocciones, es decir, una primera cocción para el soporte, que usualmente es barro, y una segunda para el esmalte que decorará  la superficie de la pieza cerámica dando el acabado final.


The Ceramo is one of the most charismatic buildings in the city of Valencia. Its neo-Mudejar style with over 150 years of history is still a place of imagination. Just passing by its exotic doorway brings back the mystery of the secrets that that the ancient ceramic artisans kept inside. Although seemingly impossible, the ancient building transmits great energy which perhaps comes from the heat of its old kilns.

We, the Valencians, are lucky to have a large green belt are that cuts through the city from one end to the other and which we can enjoy throughout the year - the banks of the river Turia.

2004 Falla detail
The fallas of Valencia, as we know them today, is a prolonged fiesta in which the whole city participates 24 hours a day. The effigies (monuments) are put up in every street, cutting the traffic and transforming the urban landscape into a cacophony of noise, colour music and atmosphere.
