The Carmen neighborhood, in the heart of Valencia's historic center, is one of the city's most popular and charming areas. This historic district of Ciutat Vella, named after the Carmen convent (now the Carmen Center for Contemporary Culture), grew up between two walls, one Arab and the other Christian. It has witnessed centuries of history, serving as a Muslim suburb, home to the nobility, aristocracy, and bourgeoisie, a settlement for artisans of various trades, a workers' area during industrialization, and, in recent years, a hub of culture and nightlife.
Despite the significant changes it has undergone in recent decades, the demolitions and vacant lots that have remained since the flood of October 1957, the urban development, and so on, this neighborhood still retains its traditional character through its cobblestone streets, its houses and palaces, its air-raid shelters, its monuments and historic buildings, not to mention the hidden corners and secrets waiting to be discovered.
