La Lonja de la Seda is set in the very center, just across the main Mercado Valencia.
Its exteriors rather remind on a fortress than a trading place.
Entry fee is only 2 Euros. You need 15-20 min to see all of it, with the main Grand room being the most beautiful one, as well the Court room

This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Building was complete in 1533.
It is located across the street from the Central Market.
Some of the highlights include the Orange garden courtyard, and amazing space to relax in and avoid the heat, and the iconic Hall of Columns. Sparsely furnished inside.
Entry costs only 2 euro, fantastic value considering how much history is on display.

Cool place with lots of interesting history. Price was reasonable. Wasn't too busy either.
Informative videos help explain the history of the building.

An impressive place that used to serve as a trade court and a trading/market place. Really well preserved. Impressive columns and ceiling in the main trading hall. Informative audio guide. I recommend spending at least an hour to do it justice.
Worth the visit with a small ticket price. Open on the weekends. Good orange tree gardens and majestic rooms inside though pretty few places to see inside. The area outside is pretty nice and usually musicians playing in front.
Incredible UNESCO site, built between 1482 and 1533, originally used for trading silk, architecture in Flamboyant Gothic style. What touched me most was the inscription on the walls, in Latin as a reminder to the merchants of their duties as merchants and good people.
It is absolutely worth the visit. Go early in the morning to avoid long lines. Has restrooms. Guide tours allow visitation to otherwise restricted areas( example spiral staicase)

Fascinating building with an interesting history. The audio guide is worth the 2.5 euro and if you listen to everything it will take about an hour. Without the guide it is a few impressive rooms that will take about 20 minutes. For some reason this place gets mixed up with the silk museum and people post photos of this place for the silk museum, which is really frustrating. The building is open all days (thankfully it is open on Monday when everything else seems to be closed) and is worth the visit.
It's one of the highest-rated tourist attractions in Valencia for a reason - it's a breathtakingly beautiful building. The entrance fee was a measly 2 euros and the guided audio tour was really fascinating; I'm used to feeling ripped off when I visit tourist attractions but this was accessible, incredibly well-maintained, cheap and very informative. Highly recommend.
I would suggest paying the €2.50 for the audio guide as there aren’t any things to read to know what you’re looking at.
Really impressive building once inside.
I listened to the guide and I still don’t understand how they made spiral columns.
Probably spent around 30 minutes wandering around but it really only had 3 rooms to look at and the courtyard

The building has very nice architecture, it isn’t too big, it’s has a small courtyard and and lovely interior with a small chapel and some plaques on the walls, the designs and structure was beautiful as was the garden, I would recommend checking it out if your in the area.
This is a world heritage site, and I'm not surprised. It takes you back in time. I have never seen a building like this before. The features are stunning. The history have to be seen and heard via audio. We'll be worth the money and it does not take too long to see around the building. If you only have limited time to sea the hidden treasures of the city, this is a must.
Exceptional architecture and history in the centre of the beautiful city of Valencia. At 2 euros to visit it's well worth a look.
It was built between 1482 and 1533 as a merchant centre, it is a shining example of the pride this city takes in public architecture/services.
The trading hall with its amazing columns was the highlight for me. If you come to Valencia this UNESCO world heritage site is worth visiting!

Incredible building! Beautiful both on its interiors and also facades. I would recommend to spend some time watching the videos explaining the history and details of the building!
Sunday’s is free :) but regardless it would be worth it to pay for an entry ticket!

This entire edifice is an indication of how powerful and bold silk tradesmen were during Europe's expedition of the Orient (Marco Polo). The small, provocative ornaments on the structure's main door are facing the church directly... making it even more bold of the silk tradesmen back then!
The architecture is obviously why one goes here. But the history of silk and how it built half the city through the Silk Road from Asia is also a narrative that provides more context to your visit. I suggest doing a quick wiki.
The spiraling columns are different especially when you stand up close and look up. The best lighting seems to be around 10 AM when it opens.. the best time to take pics!

I went here with the guide from a walking tour. She explained the history of this building, why it was built and many fun facts. In general, it’s a pretty and well-managed historical site to visit, but if you come by yourself, it might be more interesting to get an audio guide.
Beautiful buildings with so much history. A great little place to visit and get a feel of what Valencia used to be like. Take your time strolling along the walls and door frames to see all stunning carved pieces. From the courtyard to the halls, all in their original layout and each area has its bit of historical place. Cheap to enter and Audio Information given. Definitely worth a visit
