✦ The Origin of the Turia Gardens in Valencia

To begin with, the gardens are on the former riverbed of the famous Turia River.

Historically, Turia River was prone to floods but in n 1957, they were the most devastating. This is because they caused a lot of damage to the city of Valencia and there were also many lives that were lost.

As a result, the city of Valencia decided to divert the course of the river to the outskirts of the city.

Without a doubt, this turned into a success story and the fertile soil of this riverbed gave life to a beautiful garden.
