Plaza Ayuntamiento

The grand Plaza Ayuntamiento is one of Valencia’s three main squares.

The stunning plaza has a fountain and patch of grass at its heart, and is flanked by some of Valencia’s most important buildings.

The bell tower of the neoclassical town hall chimes on the hour, and inside the opulent decor features marble and richly carved wood.

The post office is more like a theater than an administrative building, with a leaded-glass dome. The plaza is a popular meeting spot for local Valencians, and is the focus for fireworks displays during the annual Fallas Festival.

Practical Info

Plaza Ayuntamiento is the main square of Valencia’s old quarter, a few blocks south of the central market on Plaza del Mercado.
