l'Almodí

The Almudín in Valencia is a historic building in the Valencian Gothic style that originally served as a granary. It was built in the early 14th century on the foundations of a Muslim alcázar and expanded over the centuries, with a central courtyard and a basilica-style ceiling added along the way. Today, the landmarked building houses a museum and an exhibition hall managed by the city government. You can admire the architecture and take in the frescoes on the walls, which depict popular scenes from the 1700s and 1800s. These paintings include allegorical depictions of the grain trade as well as saints of the guilds involved. Since the 1990s, the space has hosted rotating art exhibitions that have already featured international artists such as Salvador Dalí and Eduardo Chillida. Special ethnographic and historical exhibitions are also held here regularly, giving the site a vibrant cultural significance.
