La Lonja de Valencia (The Silk Exchange)

The Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), a jewel of 15th century Valencian civil Gothic architecture, was built to be the centre of the silk trade in a Valencia flourishing in mercantile activities.

The heart of mediaeval trade in Valencia, the Lonja de los Mercaderes

Located in the heart of Valencia, the Lonja de la Seda is a magnificent example of the city’s commercial prosperity during the 15th century. This Gothic building, with its imposing spiral columns and high ceilings, was the centre of the silk trade and a symbol of mercantile wealth. Its Sala de Contratación is particularly impressive, and its orange courtyard offers a haven of peace in the midst of the bustling city. Known as one of the most important Gothic buildings in Europe, you cannot fail to admire its imposing architecture and commercial history.

It is one of the most unique buildings in the city, also because of its many legends and mysteries, and its impressive gargoyles. If you want to get to know them, join our art tour where an official guide will reveal all its secrets.
