This building, belonging to the silk guild, dates from the 15th century. It was restored in the 16th, 17th and, above all, in the 18th century. In 1981 it was declared a historical-artistic monument.
The guild of Velluters (velvet makers) was created in the 15th century, in 1474, due to the importance that silk had acquired in Valencia. In 1686 Carlos II granted the title of "College of Artists" to this guild, and it was renamed the College of Major Art of Silk.
In this park there is an exhibition of photographs on the old "trenet", the narrow gauge train that took to different towns on the outskirts of Valencia. The exhibition is located in the cafeteria, which was the old Marchalenes railway station.
They were built in the mid-15th century in the Gothic style. The order for the construction of city walls, towers and gates, as well as their maintenance and repair, was carried out by the Vella de Murs i Valls Factory (Old Walls and Moats Factory). Its origin was a privilege of King Pedro IV the Ceremonious in the mid-fourteenth century.
The Congresses Palace of Valencia, made by Norman Foster in 1998, initially had the image as a beautiful object perched on a garden area. This has changed radically to be surrounded by tall buildings.
The image had at first this building when it was built in 1998 as a beautiful object perched on a garden area, has radically changed to be surrounded by high buildings.
In 1878, the garden extended northwards reaching the Paseo de la Pechina and is configured as we know it today.
The first director of the Botanico, in its new installation on Calle Quart, was Vicente Alfonso Lorente, at the beginning of the 19th century. The new garden will host the plants on a frame system (Linnaeus system).
This beginning of the garden will be interrupted by the invasion of the French army and the War of Independence, which in this area of Valencia was very destructive. Lorente, the director of the Botanical Garden, was taken prisoner by the French and sentenced to death. He was saved by the intervention on his behalf of the French botanist Leon Dufour.
The market has more than 8,000 m. squares and a grandiose metal structure supported by slender cast iron pillars.
The building, with an irregular floor plan, is articulated with a wider street, which joins the main entrances of the Plaza del Mercado and Avenida del Oeste, and a perpendicular axis to it that connects secondary accesses.
The appearance they offered after its construction was different, since the tracery were painted reddish. The "claves" and the beginnings of the vaults were painted by Marçal del Sax and Pere Nicolau.
The Botanical Garden of Valencia has been enriched with trees from the five continents, some reaching a great height.
The old parish of San Andrés was one of the first to be founded after the conquest of Valencia by Jaime I. The current work dates from the early seventeenth century, but its interior was covered by Luis Domingo, in a rococo style in the middle of the century XVIII.
This street is dedicated to the musician Salvador Giner y Vidal, who in 1893 founded the Orfeón Valenciano el Micalet Choral Society.
The street was one of the main streets of the "medieval mancebía" (14th century) that occupied a good part of the Carmen neighborhood. This brothel was organized in 1325 by Jaime II. The mancebía was therefore an official brothel, walled and controlled by the municipal government, which tried not to become a sordid place. There were even luxurious houses with orchards and gardens. The city doctors controlled the prostitutes. In the mancebía there were hostals, taverns and eating houses. Everyone who passed had to leave their weapons at the entrance. It disappeared in 1677. It was also called Pobla de les Dones Pecadrius.
Some tree specimens have reached a large size; which contributes to the isolation of these gardens, due to the fact that they are surrounded by tall buildings.
The city's first gas lighting was inaugurated in the Glorieta in the mid-19th century, in a cafe located next to the monumental gate.
