Live and study in Valencia
Lonja of Valencia
Another building that is worth seeing is La lonja de la seda, the emblem of the golden Age of Valencia and economic centre of the town. In 1996, thanks to its luxury and extreme beauty, it was declared a UNESCO world heritage Site. It is also one of the best examples of gothic architecture.
La Lonja de la Seda is made up of three parts. The main hall, Sala de Contratación (The Contract Hall) is an enormous, lavishly decorated space supported by gorgeous twisted columns. This was the centre of life in La Lonja, the place where the merchants would meet, deal and sign. The side-wing is named the Pavillion of the Consulate, and this was the seat of the Tribunal del Mar - the first merchant tribunal ever to be formed in Spain. The first two floors were the main function rooms, the upper one boasting a richly decorated ceiling - a masterpiece of medieval art, which attracted the likes of the King, who rode to the capital just to see it. These rooms are still authentically furnished. On occasions, the Tribunal would imprison merchants for debts in the central tower of La Lonja - the third part of the structure.
