Where to stay in Patraix
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Two old cores, one barrio. The Patraix Historical Area and the Núcleo Histórico Tradicional de Sant Isidre each carry a protected designation, and a room near either puts the Convent de Jesús, the Church of Our Lady of the Forsaken and Saint Isidore and the Mercat de Jesús fountain within an easy walk. Sant Isidre shares the register. Valencia proper still holds most rooms, but Patraix has enough on its own register, the Church of the Sacred Heart, the La Batifora factory, the Hospital Pare Jofré, to work as a base for anyone who prefers a barrio to the middle of the city.

About Patraix
What are the main landmarks in Patraix?
Chimneys mark the skyline. The Chimney of Franco Tormo Sawmill and the chimneys at Fra Mateu street survive from the works that once filled this ground, with the La Batifora factory and the Patraix electrical substation on the same industrial layer. Churches balance them.
The Convent de Jesús, the Church of the Sacred Heart and the Church of Our Lady of the Forsaken and Saint Isidore carry the older dedications, with the Col·legi Vell de Sordo-Muts and the Hospital Pare Jofré adding the institutional side. Two areas hold the rest, the Patraix Historical Area and the Núcleo Histórico Tradicional de Sant Isidre.
What is the history of Patraix?
Ask when Patraix began and the sources go quiet. What stands in its place is a pair of protected areas, the Patraix Historical Area and the Núcleo Histórico Tradicional de Sant Isidre, marking the two older cores that the register singles out from the rest of the barrio. Then came the works.
The Chimney of Franco Tormo Sawmill, the La Batifora factory and the Ramón de Castro housing project record an industrial and residential turn, while the Convent de Jesús keeps the older institutions on the same list. The rest belongs to Valencia's own account, and to the Comunitat Valenciana around it, since nothing in the sources separates Patraix's story from the city's.
