Paterna

Paterna is a municipality in the Valencian Autonomous Community of Spain, located on the left bank of the Turia River, 5 km northwest of Valencia. It is the 11th largest city in the Valencian Autonomous Community. The area has been inhabited since the Neolithic period and is now an important city within the region.

Thanks to its long history, Paterna boasts numerous historical landmarks, making it an ideal place to experience heritage and tradition. The Ceramics Museum, located near the old town hall, houses some of the most important ceramic works in the Valencian Autonomous Community and stands as a testament to its history. The Church of San Pedro, originally built in the 14th century and reconstructed in the 18th century, may not have the grand exterior or ornate interiors of other well-known cathedrals, but it still exudes a profound sense of sanctity. The Turia River Natural Park is the largest natural area in Paterna, offering residents and visitors alike an ideal spot to connect with nature. In addition, the Capitol Theatre, Paterna Tower, and Bétera Bridge are also worth a visit.
