By the way, that Plaza Virgen was the Forum Romanum, the main square in the city, in Roman times. The Tribunal de Aguas is a peasant tribunal that settles all local water and agricultural disputes. In the Valencia area, there are eight large uncovered irrigation canals or&nbsp;<em>'acequias'<\/em>, a term that originated during the Moorish period (711 to 1238). Each acequia has a representative in the Tribunal to defend their interests. One of these is the acequia de Mestalla, after which Valencia's football stadium was named (la Mestalla).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">The rulings of the&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Tribunal de las Aguas<\/span>&nbsp;are legally valid, but a 'convict' can appeal a verdict to the normal court. This tribunal has existed since the 10th century. Talk about a tradition! In 2009, it was granted the status of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">The octagonal bell tower&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">'Miguelete'&nbsp;<\/span>which stands next to the cathedral's main entrance has a circumference of 51 metres and it is also exactly 51 metres high<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Next to the cathedral is the basilica of the Mother of God of the Outcasts. When a second pandemic broke out in the 17th century - after the plague in the 14th century, when a first passerelle was built between the bishop's palace and the cathedral - a covered passerelle was also added between the cathedral and the basilica.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96d3b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"96d3b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/26-okt-22-Valencia-Miguelete.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3423\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/26-okt-22-Valencia-Miguelete.webp 600w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/26-okt-22-Valencia-Miguelete-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Miguelete<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e30c0d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e30c0d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1e2c9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1e2c9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Behind the corner is\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Palau Borja<\/span>\u00a0(15th century), the cutting of the renowned\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Borgia family<\/span>.

At the end of the 19th century, it was decided that the walls and gates no longer served any defensive purpose and they were demolished. This did not take into account that the ramparts protected the old city from floods from the Turia, the river that flowed around the old core and sometimes overflowed its banks.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">After a major flood in 1957, the bed of the Turia was shifted and in the 1970s the current Turia Park was built in the old bed.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">La Lonja<\/span>\u00a0(late 15th century), also known as 'silk exchange', is a civic-gothic building.

A film was made about it, which is played on site. The building was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Opposite the Lonja is the\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Mercado Central<\/span>, a building with 14 sides to maximise its usable area among the already existing buildings.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">A little further on, the guide led us to the narrowest house in europe, on the\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Placa de Lope de Vega<\/span>. The gable is 107 cm wide. Taxes at the time were levied on the gable width.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">The day after, I cycled through the\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Turia Park<\/span>\u00a0to the\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">City of Arts and Sciences<\/span>, an architectural masterpiece by Valencian architect Calatrava, with the opera house, the science museum, a hall of the Caixa bank and the Oceanographic Museum.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; color: #2c2c28; font-size: 17.136px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);\">Valencia had these buildings built as tourist attractions to compete with Barcelona and Madrid. The complex cost 1.2 billion euros, four times more than the predetermined budget. Whether it is a major attraction I doubt. There were virtually no people at the science museum ticket office, and I fear it would be unbearable in summer from the heat on the vast concrete surfaces.<\/p><p style=\"margin-top: 0px;
