Description of the attraction
The Historical Museum of the City of Valencia is located a little further from Cabesera Park. It is located in the building of an old water tower, which was built in 1850 by the architect Ildefonso Cerda, and in the 19th century supplied the whole of Valencia with water.
This museum is unique in its way. In addition to the fact that a large number of interesting, rare historical exhibits are collected here, all the accumulated information about the history of the city is also incredibly interesting here. The thing is that this museum is equipped with high-tech multimedia devices and uses state-of-the-art information technologies in its work. For example, the museum is equipped with many special booths, each of which is dedicated to a specific historical period. Entering such a booth, the visitor gets the opportunity to view the events that took place in this time period on the screen, become their virtual witness, and immerse themselves in the historical atmosphere that existed at that time. The museum also displays a kind of "Time Machine", an extraordinary CGI installation that showcases the development, growth and progress of Valencia over the centuries. An off-screen voice describes in detail every moment that visitors see. This innovative approach to showcasing the available material makes a visit to the museum incredibly interesting, exciting and unusual.
In general, the Historical Museum of Valencia presents the history of the city, starting from the times of the Ancient Romans, Visigoths, covering the eras of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and ending with modernity.
