Girona rentals to follow along the ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela

La Lonja is the Silk Exchange but is also called the Llotja del Canem or Hemp Exchange, thanks to the in depth trade in hemp fabric and rope during the past. The building was made in the first part of the 17th century. Close to the Square Mayor stands the Casa dels Miquels : a fifteenth century nobleman's home with big sculptured voussoirs above the primary entrance. Next to this stands the children's orphanage Casa dels Orfens set up in the 19th century by Bishop Jos Climent. There are several other places to go to when on your holiday rentals in Valencia and with the monuments there are a few museums portraying many art and historic events from the city's past.
