Where to stay in Jaume Roig
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Being central and next to the university quarter is what recommends Jaume Roig. Ciudad Universitaria lies immediately east, so the barrio sits within walking distance of the faculties while staying out of the busiest part of Valencia. Benimaclet is north and Exposición south.
Trinidad closes the western side, towards the old river bed.
About Jaume Roig
What are the main landmarks in Jaume Roig?
The Church of the Assumption is the barrio's own building of note. Otherwise Jaume Roig borrows its landmarks from the quarters around it, with Ciudad Universitaria on one side and Trinidad on the other, which is what a small central barrio between larger neighbours tends to do. It reads as part of the surrounding city.
What is the history of Jaume Roig?
Jaume Roig belongs to El Pla del Real, the district laid out on the flat ground north of the old course of the Turia as Valencia grew beyond its walls. The university took the ground east. What was left between Benimaclet and Exposición became this barrio, and it has been built over rather than developed around any older core.
Where is Jaume Roig?
Jaume Roig sits in the centre of Valencia within the El Pla del Real district, bounded by Benimaclet to the north, Ciudad Universitaria east, Exposición south, and Trinidad west. It is one of the smaller barrios of the city.
