About Els Orriols
Where to stay in Els Orriols
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Finding a hotel room in Els Orriols is harder than finding the monastery. Els Orriols is a compact district of Valencia whose named addresses come down to a monastery, a church and a museum, which makes it a base for the Monestir de Sant Miquel dels Reis rather than a hotel quarter. The Lladró Museum sits within the same short walk, and anyone whose interest is the museum or the monastery will find both inside one district.
Valencia proper holds the rest.
About Els Orriols
What are the main landmarks in Els Orriols?
Els Orriols counts three named buildings. The Monestir de Sant Miquel dels Reis stands here as a monastic complex, and the Església de Nostra Senyora del Sagrat Cor gives the district its church alongside it. The Lladró Museum is the third.
Nothing else appears on the register for Els Orriols, which leaves a monastery, a church and a museum as the whole of the named heritage.
What is the history of Els Orriols?
The district's own dates are missing. What survives instead is a short list of buildings: the Monestir de Sant Miquel dels Reis, the Església de Nostra Senyora del Sagrat Cor and the Lladró Museum, all inside Els Orriols rather than spread across Valencia. Orriols is the shorter form of the name.
A monastic house and a museum in the same small district make an odd pairing, and it is that pairing rather than any charter that the record preserves.
Where is Els Orriols?
Els Orriols occupies a compact stretch of Valencia, its ground marked by the Monestir de Sant Miquel dels Reis and the Església de Nostra Senyora del Sagrat Cor.
