Where to stay in La Roqueta
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The Estación del Norte end is the reason to stay. La Roqueta's beds answer to the station and to the two museums, the Museo Taurino de Valencia and the Museu Valencià de la Il·lustració i de la Modernitat, rather than to any seafront or old-town address. Trains set the rhythm.
It suits you if the Church of Sant Agustí and a short walk to the yards beat a room in the middle of Valencia.

About La Roqueta
What are the main landmarks in La Roqueta?
A pair of museums heads the list. The Museo Taurino de Valencia and the Museu Valencià de la Il·lustració i de la Modernitat sit on the same short list, an unusual pairing for a district of this size. The Church of Sant Agustí is the one church on it, and Cinema Jerusalem the one screen.
Industry gets a line too: the chimney at 7 Espartero street, and the rail yard of the Estación del Norte on a larger scale.
What is the history of La Roqueta?
The record here starts late. La Roqueta enters it in 1979, and everything else the sources keep for the district is a list of buildings rather than a chronology, from the Church of Sant Agustí to Cinema Jerusalem. Industry left the chimney at 7 Espartero street.
The Museu Valencià de la Il·lustració i de la Modernitat and the Museo Taurino de Valencia are the two institutions the quarter can point to, and the Estación del Norte yards are the largest single thing on its ground.
Where is La Roqueta?
Espartero street keeps a listed chimney, and the rail yard of the Estación del Norte takes a long bite out of the district's ground.
