Declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, the Silk Exchange in Valencia is a building in the Gothic civil style with Renaissance elements, a testament to the city’s wealth and economic power in the Middle Ages. Built in the 15th century, the building covers an area of around 2000 m² and houses 4 distinct spaces: the Contract Hall, the Tower, the Consolat de Mar Pavilion and the Orange Tree Courtyard.
