Why Visit the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre?

With your ticket to the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre (CAHH), you'll discover one of the most unique spaces in Valencia. The visit is in the Valeriola Palace, a completely restored 17th-century building where history, architecture, and a renowned collection of contemporary art come together.

Thanks to the audio guide in English, you'll explore the rooms that house sculptures, installations, and paintings of internationally recognized artists. Among these artists, you'll find creations by Olafur Eliasson, Jaume Plensa, Cristina Iglesias, Mat Collishaw, and Sean Scully, whose artworks transform the palace and offer an impactful visual experience suitable for all ages.

Along with current art, in the CAHH, you'll travel to Valencia's past through the archaeological remains preserved in the building. You'll observe the remains of the old Roman circus

In addition to the contemporary art, at the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre, you'll also discover the history of Valencia, through the archaeological remains preserved in the building. You'll observe the remains of the old Roman circus, an alley from the medieval Jewish quarter, a medieval oven, and a fountain from the Islamic period. All of these have witnessed the historical evolution of the city. This tour perfectly combines art, heritage, and history right in the center of Valencia!
