About Russafa
Where to stay in Russafa
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds here sit among workshops. Russafa keeps the Estació del Nord estate and the Plaza de Toros de Valencia inside one district, so a room lands within a short walk of the railway buildings and the bullring at once. Choose by what you want next door: the Caja de Ahorros de Valencia branch and the Colegio Jaime Balmes mark the everyday streets, the Rail Yard of Estación del Norte the industrial ones.
About Russafa
What are the main landmarks in Russafa?
The bullring stands first. Plaza de Toros de Valencia sits in the district, and the Estació del Nord contributes a set of listed buildings: the Taller de Cotxes, the Taller de Carpintería, the Dos Magatzems and the Centre de Rodatge. The Rail Yard of Estación del Norte and its Almacén complete that group.
Two more names round it out, the Patuel-Longas building and the Naus-taller del Parc Central, with the Caja de Ahorros de Valencia branch and the Colegio Jaime Balmes on the civic side.
What is the history of Russafa?
The record starts at 1979. That year is what the sources give for Russafa as a district of Valencia, the capital of the Valencian Community and of the province that carries the same name. Its buildings tell a different story.
The Estació del Nord workshops, the Rail Yard of Estación del Norte and the Naus-taller del Parc Central all sit inside the district, which sets a railway estate and a bullring inside the same boundary. València is the Valencian form of the city's name.
Where is Russafa?
The district lies within Valencia, a city on the banks of the Turia along the Mediterranean Sea coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
