La Lonja Is Valencia’s Coolest Old Building

#summervacay If you’re kicking around Valencia city swing by La Lonja de la Seda. Don’t let the name fool you, this isn’t some boring museum. It’s an old silk exchange that looks like a gothic castle straight outta fantasy land. The main hall? Giant twisted columns, super high ceilings, and crazy echoes that make you wanna whisper secrets. It's weirdly peaceful, and honestly kinda majestic. You half expect a knight or merchant to walk in mid-tour. There’s also a cute little orange-tree courtyard in the middle that’s perfect for a quick chill break. And upstairs, you get more rooms with cool stone carvings and city views. It’s not a huge place, so it won’t eat up your whole day, but it’s 100% worth checking out. Super cheap entry, and the vibe is just wow. If you’re into architecture, history, or just wanna feel fancy for an hour, La Lonja’s your spot.
