After the death of Almanzor and the unrest that followed, Muslim Al-Andalus disintegrated into numerous small states known as taifas, one of which was the Taifa of Valencia, which existed for four distinct periods: 1010 – 1065, 1075 – 1099, 1145 – 1147, and 1229 – 1238.
Arhitekturna zapuščina tega obdobja je bogata in se še vedno vidi v ostankih starih zidov, "Baños del Almirante" (kopališče), "Portal de Valldigna" (mestna vrata) in celo v stolnici in stolpu, "El Micalet" ("El Miguelete"), ki je bil minaret stare mošeje.
