The Lonja de la seda of Valencia
Built between 1482 and 1533, this group of buildings, originally used for trading in silk (hence its name, The Silk Exchange), has especially in its strikingly grandiose Sala de Contratación always been a place of commerce. A masterpiece of Late Gothic, it illustrates (Contract or Trading Hall), the power and wealth of a major Mediterranean mercantile city of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Inscribed: 1996. Justification:
- La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia is a wholly exceptional example of a secular building in Late Gothic style, which dramatically illustrates the power and wealth of one of the great Mediterranean mercantile cities.
