After the flood of 1957 and the decision of moving the Turia out of the the village to avoid periodical damages, began a long process of conversion of what today Valencian people still refer to as “the river”. In fact it is one of the longest urban parks in Europe housed in the former Turia. Besides being the favorite place of leisure, it houses the extensive work by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, and other interventions of well-known professionals like Ricardo Bofill.
