The Valencian administration is doing very interesting work to investigate and value four Visigothic sites of great importance recently discovered, two of them in what was the center of the city Roman, Late Ancient and Visigoth of Valentia and the others about 10 kms. of the capital, two in the area where Teodomiro, the Visigothic grand duke who, through an agreement with the Muslim conquerors, maintained his domain over an important Levantine area for many years.

On this two-day trip of just over 30 km, we suggest visiting the Archaeological Center of l’Almonia, in the heart of the historic city and, within the center, the Crypt of San Vicente, a Visigothic funerary chapel in the shape of a cross. Later we can see the Puerta de l’Alminia of the cathedral, the only Romanesque element of the temple.

The second day we moved a little more than 10 kms. to see the center of power of Teodomiro, his great palace of Pla de Nadal and the fortified city of Valencia la Vella.

We find it interesting to note that in all four of them a significant effort has been made to investigate, recover and enhance their value, including their musealization in some cases.
