After the conquest of Valencia by Jaime I, the Ruzafa gardens became farmlands with farmhouses occupied by the conquerors. The army of Jaime I settled in Ruzafa to direct the siege and the conquest of Valencia from here. The surrender of Muslim Valencia would also be signed here, on September 28, 1238.
From 1811 to 1877, Ruzafa was an independent town from Valencia.
The Trinidad convent is of great historical importance, as it was founded in 1444 by María de Castilla, who was the consort of Alfonso the Magnanimous and regent during his long absence in Naples. Maria would be buried in the cloister of this monastery.
Masters Francesc Baldomar and Francesc Martí Biulaygua took part in the construction of the convent. The portal of the church, which is accessed through a courtyard, is the work of Pere Compte and has a Florentine ceramic tondo attributed to Lucca della Robbia. The interior of the church was renovated in the 17th century, in the Baroque style.
The gates of Serranos never fulfilled a defensive function (they were never attacked). They did serve, as a reception for kings and for celebrations. These towers were also used as a prison from 1586 to 1887.
Here was the Casa Cofradía de los Corredores de Cuello, who published aloud the price of the things that were publicly auctioned.
The name of this square does not come from a supposed saint so named, but from the discovery of a bundle, in the 13th century, which, when opened, contained an image of Christ. In this way it was called the Holy Bulge of Jesus (Sant Bult in Valencian). The image of Christ is usually kept in the Sant Bult Home School Board, located on En Blanch street.
This street is so named because at the end of it, also bordering the Plaza del Poeta Llorente and Calle del Pintor López, was the convent of the Trinitarians. This convent disappeared in the last third of the 19th century due to the confiscation. In its place a block of houses was built.
The palace is so named because one of its owners was the Marquis of Guadalest, who was Admiral of Aragon (as a kind of minister of the navy of the Crown of Aragon).
Section II has an area of 99,890 m2 and includes from the Rovella weir to the Campanar bridge.
The Portal de Valldigna was an access door to the Morería neighborhood of Valencia, which was opened in the old Muslim wall, in the year 1400.
The Muslims who had stayed after the conquest of Valencia settled outside the wall that they themselves had built. Later, in 1356, another wall (the Christian one) was built that included the Morería in the city. The old Muslim wall was not demolished, thus counting the city with two defensive fences. Little by little it was demolished, although in the 18th century there were still numerous remains of the Muslim wall.
