Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims... have left their mark on the history and traditions of this land forged at the crossroads of cultures. Stroll through the old town - one of the largest in Europe - and discover unique buildings such as Santa Catalina, The Miguelete, las Torres de Quart and de Serranos, La Lonja of Seda - declared by the UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Central Market or the Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas, it is a real journey through the history.
