About Ciutat Universitaria
Where to stay in Ciutat Universitaria
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Most visits here have a purpose. Anyone with business at the Facultat de Medicina i Odontologia or the Col·legi Major Lluís Vives gains most from a bed inside Ciutat Universitaria, since both stand on the district's own ground while the rest of Valencia is a separate journey. Leisure travellers usually look elsewhere in the city.
About Ciutat Universitaria
What are the main landmarks in Ciutat Universitaria?
Two academic addresses lead. The Facultat de Medicina i Odontologia carries the medical and dental teaching on the district's ground, while the Col·legi Major Lluís Vives holds the residential college side, and the two together account for its listed fabric. The college carries the name Lluís Vives.
What is the history of Ciutat Universitaria?
The university explains the name. Ciutat Universitaria is recorded under Ciudad Universitaria as well, and both forms point at the same thing: a quarter of Valencia identified by the teaching institutions standing on its ground. Col·legi Major Lluís Vives belongs to that same academic layer.
Where is Ciutat Universitaria?
The district sits inside Valencia, its ground given over to teaching buildings that include the Facultat de Medicina i Odontologia.
