Cultural tourism in the Region of Valencia has been formed by centuries of history. Across the destination, you’ll have the opportunity to see ancient paintings depicting the collection of honey dating to between 9000 and 1400 BC and a contemporary art museum housed in a Gothic palace in Vilafamés. Use our searcher to discover museums, cultural tours, festivals and much, much more.
There is a wealth of cultural tourism on offer in the Region of Valencia, in part because we have been the home of great artists who have left behind enduring literary, architectural, sculptural and artistic legacies.
Our land has been inhabited by ancient civilisations that built countless towers, walls and castles. We’ve kept alive oral traditions that are part of our DNA and every week a session of the Water Tribunal is still held in València.
The footprints of dinosaurs, dry stone constructions protected by UNESCO as well as Immaterial Heritage like Las Fallas, La Mare de Déu de la Salut Festival in Algemesí and Misteri d’Elx: we are a destination that breathes culture.
Use our searcher to find cultural activities in the provinces of Castellón, Valencia and Alicante and start planning getaways to soak up the culture. Experience festivals with long traditions, wander around fascinating archaeological museums, enjoy listening to our bands and feel our palpable cultural legacy and the spark that inspires avant-garde artists.
Come to know the only airfield of the Civil War recovered from the Valencian Community.
Built in 1937 by the Government of the Republic to provide air support during the Battle of Teruel. It was the most important airfield in its air sector and one of the largest. From June 1938 it was used by the German Condor Legion.
Currently we can see trenches, communication tower, shelter, as well as life-size of a Policarpov I-15 "Chato" aircraft and a German pilot.
Sant Jeroni de Cotalba Monastery is one of the most outstanding and best conserved monestry in the Region of Valencia, which is further enhanced through its diverse architectural styles.

Fall in love with our region.
Every month Starline suggests an interesting proposal to get to know the Region of Valencia through excursions, which we carry out on Saturday once a month. They allow us to get to know its different towns, traditions, culture and gastronomy, enjoying very different environments throughout the Valencian geography.
We move to the Middle Ages to learn about the result of a mixture of cultures, religions, and ethnicities in one of the most enigmatic and historic cities in the Mediterranean. After the Christian reconquest, Jews and Arabs enjoyed forgiveness and obtained royal permission to remain in the city. The foundations of coexistence for prosperity were laid, a coexistence marked by three faiths in which cultural achievements were experienced thanks to the contribution of each civilization, but also conflicts, misery, and banishment. A fascinating experience that brings you closer to know about the identity and diversity of a people and that keeps you captive until the end of the tour.
