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.

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.
