The University of Valencia
Over five centuries of history
The Universitat de València is the outcome of
more than five centuries of history that have
led to the accumulation of knowledge and
unique documentary treasures, making it one
of the top Spanish universities.
In the 13th century, higher education was
establish in the city of Valencia, obtaining in
1245 a Studium Generale institution from
Pope Innocent IV. However, not until 1499 did
the Juries of Valencia draw up the
Constitucions of what was to become the
first Universitat de València, authorized by the
Pope Alexander VI Bull on 1501 and the
royal privilege of Ferdinand II the Catholic
on 1502.
For more than 500 years, the development of the Universitat de València has
run in parallel with the development of the city and has been an inextricable
part of its urban fabric, creating spaces for teaching, research, creation and
dissemination of culture and science as well as knowledge transfer.
