In order to recognize the value of the Roman former soldiers. But what hides this city that is so obscure? Did you know that Valencia keeps in the Middle Ages, the biggest brothel in Europe?
Known as "The population of Fembres Pecadrius", an area located outside the city walls where prostitution and other sinful practices were legal. The fame of this hidden brothel has grown and become almost like a mandatory pilgrimage place for the most libertine. Can you imagine? This area destined for the world of prostitution and ex has remained there for more than two centuries and there are architectural elements throughout the city that are the reflection of this most sexual side of Valencia.
We have the case of the building "Lonja de la Seda" or the silk market of Valencia, one of the most important constructions in Valencian Gothic style.
Many of the tourists who visit this important monument are intrigued by the peculiar figures of the gargoyles pipe to drain the rainwater from the roofs.
These figures of monsters, fantastic animals and humans present themselves in moments of an obscene character. One of the most famous figures represents a woman that touches impudently her intimate areas. Many say that the intent of these indecent representations would be to capture the attention of Valencia visitors to one of the main attractions of the city, the area of the brothels.
