藝術科學城(Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences)佔地三十五萬平方公尺,耗資近百億台幣,由知名建築師、同樣出生於瓦倫西亞的卡拉特拉瓦(Santiago Calatrava)設計,是近年來瓦倫西亞最重要的旅遊目的地。城內建築風格奇特、具未來感,夢幻程度不亞於世界各地的知名現代建築如:雪梨歌劇院等,是旅遊至瓦倫西亞必訪的景點之一。
有地中海「微光之城(City of Light)」美稱的瓦倫西亞,西元 14 至 15 世紀時,瓦倫西亞更是稱霸整個地中海的商業都市,藝術與文化蓬勃發展,造就了瓦倫西亞的黃金時代(Valencian Golden Age);19 世紀末期,瓦倫西亞興起的「加泰隆尼亞現代主義」藝術運動,為城市注入了與眾不同的魅力。
València is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and the third-largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. The city is situated on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, fronting the Gulf of Valencia on the Mediterranean Sea. Its historic centre is one of the largest in Spain.
Due to its long history, Valencia has numerous celebrations and traditions, such as the Fallas, which were declared Fiestas of National Tourist Interest of Spain in 1965 and an Intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in November 2016.
瓦倫西亞三大標誌性文化:火焰、煙火以及海鮮燴飯
法雅節是瓦倫西亞的文化符號,同時也是聯合國教科文組織所認證的非物質文化遺產,然而法雅節對世界的文化衝擊還遠不止於此。瓦倫西亞的文化包含音樂、藝術、文學、電影以及舞蹈。瓦倫西亞同時也是著名樂隊的聚集地,是最會慶祝節日的城市,也是戲劇之鄉。瓦倫西亞坐落著大量的戲劇影院,整座城市會定期上演各種大型至小型戲劇表演。此外,瓦倫西亞還設有多至60處文化類景觀,包括各種主題的博物館、紀念碑、以及其他精彩遊覽場所。在時尚服飾方面,瓦倫西亞遠遠沒有停留在傳統的繡花絲綢上,而是達到了國際時裝表演的時尚水準。瓦倫西亞是畫家索羅拉亞巴斯蒂達(Joaquín Sorolla)的一幅名畫;是導演布拉斯科•伊瓦涅斯(Blasco Ibáñez)的文學作品;是作家帕科•羅卡(Paco Roca )的圖像小說;也是頂尖廚師手中讓人垂涎欲滴的海鮮燴飯。
瓦倫西亞是西班牙第三大城,也是瓦倫西亞自治區的首府。在拉丁語中,瓦倫西亞原名是Valentia,是「強壯」、「活力」的意思。西元前138年羅馬人征服進駐開始建立瓦倫西亞,這座城市開始經歷不同民族的統治和文化上的衝擊。西元718年,摩爾人征服此地。重視水利建設的摩爾人致力於規劃河渠水道,開墾農地,使瓦倫西亞人口大幅躍升破萬人。繁榮耀眼的瓦倫西亞也因此吸引阿拉伯人頻繁的進出此地做經貿商業往來,讓這個城市注入了多元的文化激流和經濟上的刺激。如今的瓦倫西亞雖然光榮已退去,但每年三月中旬舉行的火節(Las Fallas),為世界知名節慶之一。他們會以大火焚燒巨大的娃娃並放鞭炮煙火慶祝,熱鬧非凡,高潮迭起。似乎在不斷的喚醒世人這個城市曾經繁榮的光景。
The port city of Valencia lies on Spain’s southeastern coast, where the Turia River meets the Mediterranean Sea. It’s known for its City of Arts and Sciences, with futuristic structures including a planetarium, an oceanarium and an interactive museum. Valencia also has several beaches, including some within nearby Albufera Park, a wetlands reserve with a lake and walking trails.



Valencia is perfect to discover on foot One of the most fascinating attractions is the Plaza de la Reina, with the Cathedral and the Miguelete tower, where you should climb the 207 steps for some beautiful views. In the city centre you can also find the Silk Exchange -one of Valencia’s most beautiful buildings, a World Heritage Site, with its idyllic Patio de los Naranjos courtyard full of orange trees- and the Modernist Central Market – Europe’s largest fresh produce market, so taking in its stalls is a true experience. A few metres away is the National Ceramic Museum with its impressive façade or the Quart and Serrano Towers. And also museums such as the IVAM or many surprising spots full of street art.

瓦倫西亞的中央市場是棟圓頂的建築物,1928年開始營業,佔地8000多平方公尺,在歐洲算是數一數二的大型市場。這個市場真的是超級無敵明亮和乾淨的。因為市場中央有一個大型的圓頂作自然的採光。而且數千個各式各樣的攤位也都規劃的井然有序。
