The Ruzafa neighborhood was a recreational area for the Muslim kings of Valencia from the 10th to the 13th centuries. The name of Ruzafa comes from the Arabic word garden, which was one of the hundred names that Muslims used to refer to heaven or Eden.

In this street of Dr. Serrano are the Bodegas Biosca, since 1932.

At the Botanico de Valencia, research is carried out on flora, biosystems and vegetation. It also participates in international projects related to plant biodiversity and the study of native plants.

The Botanical Garden of Valencia has more than 3,000 plant species.

Valencia Cathedral was started in the 13th century, being the master builder Arnau Vidal. The small difference in height between the central nave and the lateral ones meant that it did not need flying buttresses to counteract the thrust of the vault, resulting somewhat squat, unlike most Gothic constructions, which tend towards the top.

The Door of the Apostles (in the photo), is already the fourteenth century and was made by Nicolás de Ancona in a style of clear French influence.

At this door, the Water Court meets every Thursday, an irrigation jury in charge of solving conflicts that may arise between the farmers of the of Irrigators community from the valencian garden.

In this image you can see the facilities of the Santo Domingo convent, which keeps the best Gothic in the city of Valencia, with a 14th century cloister and the Chapter Hall. Because they are currently military installations, access is difficult. From the end of the 16th century it is the facade-altarpiece of the church that overlooks the square. The bell tower is from the 17th century.

The convent building, on the right, dates from the late 18th century and is currently the headquarters of the General Captaincy of the III Military Region.
