A jewel of contemporary art in Valencia

Description

Visit the former Valeriola Palace, which reflects the dialogue between the city's historic past and international contemporary art.
If you love art, you can't miss the Hortensia Herrero Art Center. It is one of the city's most impressive cultural spaces.

Located in the Valeriola Palace, a 17th-century Baroque building restored over more than five years, this museum offers a complete cultural experience in the heart of Valencia. Just steps from the cathedral, the center uniquely blends history and contemporary art.

Its more than 3,500 m² of exhibition space showcases an impressive collection of works by more than 50 internationally renowned contemporary artists, including:

Joan Miró, David Hockney, Anselm Kiefer, Anish Kapoor, Jaume Plensa, Cristina Iglesias, Eduardo Chillida, Olafur Eliasson, and many others.

Some of the works have been created especially for this location, and you can also see unique artistic interventions integrated into the building's chapels, gardens, or hallways. You can also explore Roman, Islamic, and medieval archaeological remains underground.

It's best to plan your visit so you can enjoy it and notice every detail. Both the works of art and the space itself are worthy of close admiration.
