The Colegio del Arte Mayor de la Seda tells one of Valencia's essential economic stories in a compact setting. The former silk guild building preserves tilework, rooms, and exhibits tied to the craft and trade that helped finance the city's late-medieval and early-modern prosperity.
It pairs particularly well with La Lonja de la Seda and the Central Market, because together they turn the old centre from a set of pretty buildings into a working commercial landscape. The museum is selective, but it gives useful depth to anyone interested in why silk mattered here.
