Valencia.

Pause here to understand Valencia’s civic and religious center at a glance, with the Cathedral, basilica and government palace framing a fully pedestrian square.

The square works as both an orientation point and a place to read Valencia’s history in surrounding façades. Its Turia Fountain represents the river with eight irrigation channels, while the nearby Casa Vestuario connects the space to the enduring Tribunal de las Aguas tradition.

• The Cathedral, basilica and Palau de la Generalitat define three sides of the square.
• The Turia Fountain personifies the river and its eight main irrigation channels.
• The irregular pedestrian space follows the site of ancient Valentia’s Roman forum.

Use the square to choose between the Cathedral, basilica and Palau rather than entering all three automatically.

Walk onward through La Seu or continue toward the Central Market cluster.
