Turia River

The Turia River is a natural waterway that flows through parts of Spain, most notably through the city of Valencia. Historically, it was a significant source of water drainage and transportation. However, after a devastating flood in 1957, the river was diverted away from the city center. The old riverbed was transformed into a large green park, known as the Turia Gardens, which now provides recreational space for residents and visitors. The river's course and the surrounding park are important for urban stability, environmental health, and cultural activities in Valencia.
