After the Christian victory, the Muslim population was expelled and King Jaime the First made the distribution of new lands among those who had participated in the conquest, a testimony of this is left in the Llibre del Repartiment.

The king gave some new laws to the city; a vivid testimony is left in Els Furs, which he applied to the whole Kingdom of Valencia years later. A new stage began here, with the guidance of a new city that settled the grounds of the Valencian people as we know it today.

The city went through serious troubles in the mid of the Fourteen Century. On one hand, the Black Death of 1348 and the consecutive epidemics of the following years, that decimated the population. In the other hand, the Union War, a citizen revolt, led by Valencia as the capital of the Kingdom, against the monarchy’s abuses. Last, the war against Castile that forced to quickly raise a new wall to halt the Castilian attack for two occasions in 1363 y 1364. In return, King Pedro the Ceremonious granted the “Twice loyal” title to the city of Valencia, represented by two “Ls” the shield holds until nowadays.  

The coexistence among the three communities, the Christian, the Jewish and Muslim one, occupying the city was conflictive throughout the whole middle age. The Jewish, settled around the Sea Street, have made economical and social advances and its neighbourhood was progressively widening the limits on the expense of the next parish churches.

By its side, the Muslims that stayed in the city after the conquest were settled in a Moorish quarter next to the present market of Mosen Sorell, adjoining the then craftwork Carmen neighbourhood. In 1391 an uncontrolled mob assaulted the Jewish neighbourhood, that supposed the almost disappearance of the community and forced conversion of its members to Christianity, though many continued secretly practicing their religion. In 1456, a popular crowd again led to the assault of the Moorish quarter, though its consequences were of lesser transcendence.

At the end of the Fourteenth Century, conflicts between the different Centelles and the Vilaragut families got a special violence. Lined up in two opposing sides, they had an outstanding influence in the dynastic conflict that took place at the death without descendants of Martin the Human and that ended in the Compromise of Caspe and in the enthronization of the Trastamara House in the Crown of Aragon. An outstanding role was fulfilled by the Ferrer, Bonifaci and Vicent brothers in this decision; Vicent was canonized by Calixto the 3rd in 1455.

In the Fifteenth Century, Valencia experienced a stage of great economic development and cultural and artistic splendour. The Taula de canvis was created, a municipal bank of support for the commercial operations, the local economy, with silk textiles in an outstanding place, reached a great development and the city turned into a commercial emporium where merchants from all Europe go. At the end of the century, the Silk and the Merchants Lonja was raised, one of the most important centres of mercantile transactions of the Mediterranean.

This economic outcome influences the artistic and cultural fields. Some of the buildings which are the most emblematic of the city are raised such as the Torres del Serrans in 1392, The Lonja in 1482, the Micalet or the Chapel of the Santo Domingo Convent Kings. In painting and sculpture, the Flemish and Italian tendencies are appreciated with artists such as Lluís Dalmau, Gonçal Peris or Damian Forment.

Under the court of Alfonso the Magnanimous, literature flourishes with the written production, from the hand of authors like Ausias March, Roiç de Corella o Sor Isabel de Villena. In 1460 Joanot Martorell writes the Tirant lo Blanch, an innovating cavalry novel that influenced several later authors, from Cervantes to Shakespeare.
