The capital Valencia is without any doubt the center of the community of Valencia. It was founded in 138 A.C. as a Roman colony; conquered by Jaime I in 1238, he gave the city a new law, the Valencian charters (Els Furs). We highlight the fifteenth century as a time of economic, cultural and artistic peak. It was in that period that all the well-known buildings were constructed: Las Torres de Serrano, El Miguelet, and the Chapel of the Kings of the Convent of Santo Domingo. If we talk about tourism, Valencia is connected by sea, land and air.
