The Lonja de la Seda is a late Valencian Gothic-style civil building in Valencia. The Hall of Columns, a magnificent hall in Flamboyant Gothic style, is the most interesting space in the building. The interior, with three main aisles, is covered by a series of cross vaults resting on slender helical pillars almost 16 metres high. The floor is paved with Alcublas marble of different colours. Light enters through soaring Gothic windows, the external frames of which, like the doors, are exuberantly ornamented, notably by a series of grotesque gargoyles.
