We  stopped into city hall in Valencia which is a beautiful large building. There was police security at the entrance and we were required to go through security before entering into city hall. Once we were through security we were free to roam the corridors in the public areas of City hall.

The main staircase of city hall is made with marble and is very beautiful and impressive. When we looked at the staircase you could see marble railings,  marble stairs and above the landing area, there is a large stained glass ceiling which allowed defused light into the area.

The ceiling above the central staircase contains a beautiful stained glass ceiling.

We climbed the staircase to the second floor and to our left there was a large banquet style room. We went into the room and saw some large chandeliers and a beautiful painted ceiling.

The banquet room was over two storeys high with ornate decorations.

There was a section of city hall dedicated as the historic municipal museum.

We checked out the museum area. There were numerous artifacts and historic items from the Valencia municipality on display.

We went into a room which had large paintings on the wall.

We then entered another room which was quite spectacular. On display were religious articles and an ancient book which was on display behind a glass containment.

In the centre of the room was also an area that contained a glass floor. We could see the floor area below.

After we toured the interior of city hall we headed out to the second floor balcony.

The view from the balcony was beautiful, it provided a complete view of the square. Check it out.

On our way out of city hall we stopped on the stair landing and watched as a police officer help a tourist family. He took a photo of the group and made sure they were all staged just right for the perfect picture. He was extremely helpful, friendly and it was a nice way to end our tour of city hall.
