Valencia's Silk Exchange

The Silk Exchange was built in the 15th Century to glorify honest trade in a time Valencia’s wealth was booming as part of Mediterranean trade routes. The carved gilt ceiling in the Colsulate of the Sea room dates to the original 1400s construction. Amazing! 

“Is this floor supposed to be important?” I asked Chris. 

“Well yeah—without it you’d just fall through to the ground, so I’d say it’s very important.” 

So there you have it.
