Wall
This IVAM room houses a 68-metre linear section of the ancient medieval wall of Valencia. The walls of our city were its defining feature in the Middle Ages, so much so that one of the first coats of arms of Valencia represented a fortified city, surrounded by the waters of the Turia River. This symbolic representation has survived to this day, even after the physical demolition of the walls, through numerous traditional religious engravings.
The definitive wall of Valencia was built in 1356, the year in which King Peter IV the Ceremonious asked the Jurors to speed up the construction of a new enclosure due to the danger posed by attacks by King Peter I the Cruel of Castile. The new walls were to surround the suburbs and the Islamic wall, then in use. The works were directed by the stonemason Guillem Nebot.

Accesibility
With the aim that the IVAM be an accessible and safe space for all people, we work so that the museum’s proposals (exhibitions, activities, workshops, conferences, publications, etc.) can be enjoyed by all audiences. That is why we offer a series of resources to facilitate the visit to the museum: activities and visits adapted for people with functional diversity, such as tactile visits or tours signed by reservation (consult information). In addition, we provide online resources to bring the IVAM collection closer to the deaf community, adapting the texts of the exhibitions to reading easy to download on the web or request them in the room or at lockers. The IVAM also has wheelchairs, which you can request at the museum’s information, as well as toilets and adapted access for people with reduced mobility.
