Centro de Arte Hortensia Herrero - General

The Centro de Arte Hortensia Herrero occupies a 17th-century palace in the centre of Valencia, where contemporary art, architecture and the city's history come together, with more than 100 works by national and international creators.

The venue brings together, in a former Baroque palace, a collection of more than one hundred works by Spanish and foreign artists. Several of these pieces were conceived for specific rooms in the building, with works by Tomás Saraceno, Jaume Plensa, Olafur Eliasson, Cristina Iglesias, Sean Scully and Mat Collishaw. Some installations are interactive or immersive, so the route invites visitors to pause and take part.

The building also offers a glimpse into Valencia's past, as its interior preserves Roman remains, such as a stretch associated with the circus, and an alleyway from the former Jewish quarter. A free audio guide is available for the visit, and the room staff can expand on the explanations about the works and the site.

The outing is designed for all kinds of visitors, both those passing through and those who already know contemporary art and are looking for a different perspective on the city's heritage.
