La Lonja de la Seda Map / Location

This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the best preserved examples of Late Gothic architecture in all of Europe. La Lonja was originally Valencia’s silk and commodity exchange and an emblem of the city’s Golden Age, which UNESCO says “dramatically illustrates the power and wealth of one of the great Mediterranean mercantile cities.” Highlights include its twisted Gothic pillars and coffered ceiling of its first-floor Consulado del Mar.
