The Turia Garden was conceived in 18 different sections. Some still need to be built.
Section I is between the 9 de Octubre bridge and the Rovella weir..
In this street is the Cultural Center 9 d'Octubre, located in a building that formerly occupied a shop called El Siglo Valenciano.
This square is dedicated to the 19th century conservative poet and deputy, Teodoro Llorente, who lived in the building opposite in the photo.
The statue is dedicated to the painter Ribera. This sculpture underwent several transfers until it was located in this square.
Here was also the tower of Ali Bufat, demolished in 1865. It was famous because here the Muslims raised the banner of Jaime I as a sign of the surrender of Balansiya, the Muslim Valencia.
This street runs parallel to that of La Paz, although it has a more sinuous layout as it is older. It is so called because it led to the Sea Gate of the fourteenth century wall.
This museum houses "Las Rocas", floats that parade on Corpus Christi day through the city center. Apparently the name alludes to its size and shapes, since the scenes were represented in what were called "entremeses" or "muntanyes".
The museum is an extension of the "Casa de Las Rocas", with an 18th century building that overlooks Roteros Street (rotero means farmer) where it now has the entrance. The new museum was inaugurated in 2006.
This square is dedicated to the valencian musician and composer López Chavarri, who died in 1970 at the age of 99.
In this square there are three of the most important historical buildings in Valencia: the Cathedral of Santa María, the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the Palacio de la Generalitat.
The square was once called Plaza de la Seu and occupies the space that was once occupied by the ancient Roman forum in the city of Valentia.
In this square is the Astoria hotel (1959), on the site of what was the Vilaragut palace (15th century). This family was famous for its confrontation with the Centelles family.
Two large staircases stand out on the south side of the Museum of Science. They had to be added after the museum was built to comply with fire regulations.
Its surface is 3,500 m2. Its central nave is 18 m. high and its side aisles 15 m. Unlike the Mercado Central, the Mercado de Colón is an open construction.
The Ruzafa neighborhood was a recreational area for the Muslim kings of Valencia from the 10th to the 13th centuries. The name of Ruzafa comes from the Arabic word garden, which was one of the hundred names that Muslims used to refer to heaven or Eden.
In this street of Dr. Serrano are the Bodegas Biosca, since 1932.
The entire perimeter, both of the garden and of the mansion, has been surrounded by a wall.
The garden retains few elements of its initial configuration.
