City center, “el corazón de la ciudad”

During 2000 years, the urban layout of the old town of Valencia has undergone an interesting historical evolution due to great architectural and urban improvements. Monumental buildings such as the Mercado Central; drastic urban changes as the opening of the Calle la Paz in the early twentieth century, co-exist with risky and brilliant contemporary innovations, for example the MUVIM by the architect Guillermo Vazquez Consuegra.
