Review:
The very impressive La Lonja de la Seda (The Silk Exchange) building is also located in the Old Town. The building, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered to be a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Built between 1482 and 1533, this civil building was always intended to demonstrate the wealth and importance of the city of Valencia. As you walk through the main building, the Column or Contract Room, you will notice that 8 superb columns measuring over 17 meters support the elaborate vaulted ceiling. On the ground floor there is a chapel, while the upper floors were used as a prison for merchants who failed to pay their bills.
