The city of Valencia was founded in the year 138 B.C. By the Romans. They started by building the Forum in the Plaza de la Almoina. In 714 the Visigoths arrived in Valencia after the Romans and Muslim rule was established in the city. This continued until 1238 when King Jaime I expelled the Moors from the city. The Moors may have been banished from the city, but they left a mark that remains to this day in the artistic influences, recipes and water system to be found in the city.
The Golden Era of Valencia is said to be during the 14th and 15th centuries in Valencia. This was a time when the economy flourished due to agriculture and maritime trade. This meant that lots of emblematic buildings were constructed during this period. The buildings include the Valencia Cathedral, the Torres de Serrano, the Torres de Quart and the Silk Exchange (called La Lonja). During this period there was also a surge in the arts - meaning that it has been coined the Renaissance period. During this time the Palau de la Generalitat was built - this is the building that is now the headquarters of the Valencia Regional Government.
