Valencia is the capital of the Valencian Autonomous Region. It is the 3rd largest and most important city in Spain, and the 15th in the European Union.

Since its Roman beginnings in the year 138 BC, it has progressively built up the enormous riches brought by the successive cultures that have settled there (The Visigoths, the Moslems…) To tour Valencia is to feel the plurality and the evolution of a city whose prosperous historical heritage cohabits harmonically with the more recent and innovative constructions.
A stroll around the historic centre, taking in religious temples and civil monuments, of, among others, gothic, baroque and modernist styles, drop by the famed museums, or admire such emblematic projects as the City of Arts and Sciences, or the Congress Palace; these are only a few of the many proposals Valencia suggests to the visitor.
