Plaza de la Reina Tours and Tickets
234 Reviews
Plaza de la Reina isn’t particularly old: it dates back to only 1878, when a triangular block of buildings was destroyed to make room for a large main square. Now the plaza – considered the city’s Kilometer 0 -- fills with cars, flower beds and pedestrians, and is lined by a host of cafes and outdoor terrazas (seating areas). In fact, this is where you’ll find one of the city’s oldest restaurants, Horchatería Santa Catalina, the ideal place to try Valencia’s signature beverage, the nutty-flavored and refreshing horchata.
Perhaps more intriguing than the actual plaza itself are the sites that surround it, most notable of which is surely the Valencia Cathedral. Built on the site of a former mosque, the 13th-century church is a mixture of architectural styles, but predominantly Gothic. What makes the basilica particularly special, though, is that many believe it to be the most plausible home of the Holy Grail.
A few other sites also skirt Plaza de la Reina, including the neighboring Plaza de Santa Catalina and its small church of the same name. Then, just a few steps farther away, you’ll find the Plaza Redonda, a circular-shaped plaza that usually fills with kiosks, and even a Sunday market.

Guided Walking Tour of Modernist Valencia
1
In Valencia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a great transformative process was experienced.
The great avenues that emerge in the wake of the demolition of the Christian walls of 1865 will be dotted with buildings in which modernism will coexist with Neomudéjar, Neomedieval, Neo-Byzantine or Neo-Baroque architectures, also incorporating decorative elements linked to local tradition: floral motifs, fruit, marine, or clothing and own iconography.
The greatest exponent will be the Regional Exhibition of 1909.
