It was an independent municipality until 1877 and still preserves historic buildings. One of them is the Mercado de Ruzafa, which serves as a central point.

The gastronomic offer has been the undisputed driving force behind the momentum in this area.

Outstanding Valencian chefs have chosen Ruzafa to establish their most innovative restaurants. Cuisines from different parts of the world merge here.

Also worthy of mention are its craft breweries and tempting cafés.
