Arrancapins, Valencia — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Arrancapins?

Here the entries keep coming. Arrancapins carries the Church of Sant Vicent de la Roqueta, the Mercat d'Abastos de València, the brick mass of Finca Roja and the Lluís Vives School, a set of four names that runs from worship through trade to schooling. A single tree is listed too, the Plátano de Oro.

Railway works account for much of the remainder, among them the Rail Yard of Estación del Norte and the Centro de Transformación de la Estación del Norte de Valencia. The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help closes the register.

What is the history of Arrancapins?

Valencia kept no charter for the barrio. What survives instead is legible through the things listed on the ground, from the Church of Sant Vicent de la Roqueta to the Finca Roja and the Lluís Vives School. Conflict left its own marker, an Air raid siren of the Civil War in Valencia.

The railway left more, including the covered platforms recorded as Muelles cubiertos en playa de vías de la Estación de Valencia.

Where is Arrancapins?
