The Alameda is connected to the city center by five bridges: the Real bridge, the Exposition bridge, the Flores bridge, the Mar bridge and the Aragón bridge.
This square was previously called Plaza de San Gil. In her you will find the Museum of the History of Medicine and Science, which is located in the Cerveró palace, from the 18th century.
The courtyard acts as a distributor for the various rooms of the palace with other small stairs that lead to the basement and the mezzanine.
On the main floor you can see Gothic windows with fine columns that overlook the courtyard.
The park is managed by the Municipal Public Foundation for Unique Parks and Gardens.

The General Hospital was founded, in the year 1512, by an order of Ferdinand the Catholic. With this order, all the hospitals of the time that were in Valencia were consolidated into one.
An isolated portal remains of the old hospital, which was destroyed by fire in 1545 (in the image). The current building dates from 1546 and is the work of Gaspar Gregori, who also built the gallery of arcades of the cathedral that overlooks the Plaza de la Virgen. The hospital was built in a fully Renaissance style.
In 1960 the new General Hospital was built on Avenida del Cid. Today, the Gaspar Gregori building is used as a public library.
From the beginning of the 15th century, it is the oldest bridge in Valencia. It was also called "of the Catalans" because the Catalan repopulation settled in its surroundings.
This street is named after a Franciscan convent that was in it and that was called the Crown of Christ. The convent was located where today is the Cultural Center of Beneficencia.
In this street is the Archbishop's Palace, hence the name of the street.
In the 19th century the baths were restored adding a neo-Arab decoration. They closed in 1959.
During the years 1961-1963, the neo-Arab decoration of the 19th century was restored and eliminated. From 1963 a boxing gym was installed. In 1985 the Generaltitat Valenciana acquired the building and in 1999 the rehabilitation project was carried out. In 2005 they were opened to the public for visits.
The photo shows the warm room, where people spent most of their time.
This street has the origin of its layout in the old Muslim wall, which ran in the direction of the Lonja. Here the bolseros were established, who made bags with all kinds of materials.
