Ever since it was founded by the Romans on year 138 a. C., Valencia has been accumulating the enormous wealth contributed by the different cultures that in her have lived there. These cultures include the Greeks, Romans, Arabs from what is now Iraq, to the Catholic Kings of Spain. Valencia was a Kingdom in its own right and then much later the capital of the Republic for a time, before the capital was moved to Barcelona.
To take a walk by Valencia is to feel the plurality and evolution of a city, in which the legacies of a prosperous history coexist harmoniously with new and innovative architecture. To cross the historical centre, to contemplate religious temples, gothic, baroque and modernist civil monuments, to stop in the museums or to admire as emblematic projects as the City of the Arts and Sciences or the Palace of Congresses, are only some of the many delights that Valencia offers the visitor.
