Plaza de Toros de Valencia, officially Plaça de bous de València, is a bullring in València, Spain. It was built between 1850 and 1859 in the neoclassical style, inspired by civil Roman architecture such as the Colosseum in Rome or the Arena of Nîmes (France). It was built by the Valencian architect Sebastián Monleón Estellés. Its structure is formed by a 48-sided polygon, with 384 external arches. It follows the so-called Neo-Mudéjar style.

The City of Arts and Sciences is a cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the southeast end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project began the first stages of construction in July 1996, and was inaugurated on 16 April 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last major component of the City of Arts and Sciences, Palau de Les Arts Reina Sofia, was inaugurated on 9 October 2005, Valencian Community Day. Three smaller structures were opened in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively.

Valencia or València is a charming old city and the capital of the Valencian Community. With just under 800,000 inhabitants, it is Spain’s third-largest city and, after Barcelona, the most significant cultural center along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. It is the capital of the autonomous Valencian Community and is known for its tourism and cuisine. In March visitors flock to the city for the annual UNESCO-listed Fallas celebration, but the city is worth visiting at other times of the year for its paella, ultramodern architecture, and good beaches. Valencia was founded as a Roman colony by the consul Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus in 138 BC and called Valentia Edetanorum.

Valencian Gothic is the predominant architectural style of the cathedral, although it also contains Romanesque, French Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical elements.
