Description
The Lonja de la Seda was Valencia's Silk Exchange. It was built in late Gothic design at the end of the 15th century and consists of four areas: 1) the Contract Hall with its twisted columns, 2) the Pavilion of the Consulate where the maritime tribunal sat, 3) the Tower where debtors would be imprisoned, and 4) the walled Orange Garden.
Access & Transport
Address: #2 Carrer de la Llotja There are several bus stops a couple of mins walk away: 'Mercat Central - Beata' (27), 'Editor Manuel Aguilar - Guillem Sorolla' (11, 60, 62, 73), 'Plaça de l'Ajuntament - Mercat Central' (C1) and 'Carda - Moro Zeit' (73). The closest metro station is 'Àngel Guimerà' (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9), 700m away.

The Central Market is just across the street and both the Cathedral and the Church of San Nicolás are nearby.

Green activity except for some electricity consumption (lighting). This activity helps preserve the city's architectural and cultural heritages
