Historic Art Nouveau warehouses by the sea
If you take a stroll through the Marina de València, you can admire some of the old port sheds built in the Art Nouveau style. Three of these gigantic metallic structures, where goods used to be temporarily stored, have been preserved. Their decoration recalls their glorious past, with references to navigation and the Valencian products that were exported from here.
Today, they are spaces that host street markets, gastronomic fairs, exhibitions, and cultural events. Many people take advantage of them to show off their skills on bikes, roller skates, or skateboards.
Why visit the port sheds
- They are an essential stop on a stroll through the Marina de València
- To admire their profuse Art Nouveau decoration
- To practice skateboarding (or watch others do acrobatics) right by the sea
