About This Place

Plaça de la Reina (Queen's Square) is one of Valencia's most vibrant central squares, situated at the heart of the old city beside the magnificent Gothic cathedral and the Miguelete bell tower. The broad pedestrianised square is lined with café terraces and is a constant hub of city life — a perfect meeting point and starting place for exploring Valencia's old town, the Central Market, and the Llotja de la Seda silk exchange. Free to stroll and enjoy.
