la almoina valencia spain — La Almoina: the origins of the city of Valencia

La Almoina Museum is located very close to the Valencia Cathedral and it's a place where you can see the remains of the old Roman, Visigoth and Arab cities. The ruins take you through the old streets and the Alcazar, the baths, forum and many other buildings, all located in the underground of what is now the modern town of Valencia.

Impressions from our visit to La Almoina Archaeological Museum

We visited The Almoina during a long weekend in Valencia and we went there on a Sunday when the entry was free.

The visit does not take along, maybe around 30 minutes, but it provides interesting information about the city.

If you are passionate about history, then a visit here is a must.

If you are coming on a weekend you can plan your visit on a Sunday when it is free, or if you are visiting during the weekdays, we recommend that you buy the 3 day pass for museums in Valencia, called a Bono, which costs only 6 Euros.
