Valencia has a unique character due in large part to its distinctive combination of architecture. The city contains examples of almost every main Spanish style, including Visigoth, Gothic, Baroque, Art Deco, and some interesting modern buildings as well. The city has some lovely, quaint old quarters with winding streets and little old fashioned shops, as well as some modern areas, of no less interest to tourists. The most popular attraction in the city is the modern City of the Arts and Sciences complex, which houses many fascinating exhibits and shows. Valencia also features some classic and dramatically adorned churches, one of which claims to have the Holy Grail. In addition, there are beautiful parks offering respite from the urban environment and scenic views of the river. Valencia is also known for its markets, always lively and bustling, selling everything from fresh fruit and seafood to second hand clothes.
