El Pilar, also known as Velluters, is a neighbourhood in the city of Valencia, belonging to the Ciutat Vella district. Located in the historic centre, El Pilar combines history and culture in a unique way. In its streets, old silk and vellut artisan workshops left their mark, and today, university students can explore monuments such as the Colegio del Arte Mayor de la Seda and the Palau Tamarit.

But El Pilar is not only a place of history and architecture. It also offers a wide range of leisure and dining options. Its squares and alleys are home to cosy cafés, charming bars and restaurants serving authentic Valencian cuisine. Here, students can enjoy social gatherings, live music and a relaxed atmosphere after classes. In addition, on weekends, the neighbourhood comes alive with markets and cultural events that invite the community to come together and celebrate life in Valencia.
