The Lonja de la Seda in Valencia was designed by Pere Compte, and the article names no client. The text says it was built between 1482 and 1533 but also dates the Trading Hall to 1483 to 1498, and other works continued until 1548. The infobox lists no construction dates, so the sources do not agree on one completion year.

The infobox gives Valencian Gothic, and the text calls it late Valencian Gothic. The article gives no materials or dimensions and mentions gorgeous twisted columns. A 14th-century Oil Exchange stood behind it.

The building served as a silk exchange and housed the Consolat del Mar. Spain gave it heritage designation on June 3, 1931, and UNESCO listed it in 1996. The article calls it a principal tourist attraction and gives no hours or ticket details.
