Other places of note are the Basilicia de la Virgen de los Desamprados, the Almudin, the Iglesia de San Esteban, the Palace of Almirantes de Aragon, the church of San Juan del Hospital, and the Convento de Santo Domingo.
The River
Another excellent area to visit in Valencia Spain is the River Turia, particularly the three old bridges of Puente del Real, Puente de la Trinidad, and Puente de Serranos. There is also the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, located right at the riverbed.
