Go back a thousand years to the dark times of the plague. Welcome to Valencia and its troubled past. Before the Inquisition arrived to Spain in the 15th century, Valencia was a city where Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together inside the medieval walls. They shared the streets, the market and the University. Walk by the medieval streets of Valencia while you hear the stories of one of the most important humanist born in Spain, who had to migrate due the persecution to the Jews. Or what would have happened if Luis Santángel, a Valencian converted Jew would never have lent money to the Queen Isabel for Columbus first trip? And if you are literature fans: do you think Cervantes would have written El Quijote if Joan Martorell would never have written Tirant Lo Blanch? All this ephemeris happened in Valencia during the times when the Earth was the center of the Universe and religion was the perfect excuse for the war.
