La Sa\u00efdia, officially known as La Zaid\u00eda, derives its name from the former convent, Zaid\u00eda, also known as the Real Monasterio Cisterciense or Santa Mar\u00eda de Gratia Dei. The convent was constructed on the site where the palace of Andalusian King Ab\u00fa Zayd once stood. The name Zaid\u00eda is the Castilian version of Sa\u00efdia in Valencian. In the 19th century, the process of “castellanizar” or Castilianizing the names of towns, streets, monuments, churches, etc., could only be done through a Royal Decree, which led to the adoption of the name Zaid\u00eda.<\/p>\n
La Sa\u00efdia is bordered by Benicalap and Rasca\u00f1a to the north, Benimaclet and El Pla del Real to the east, Ciutat Vella to the south, and Campanar to the west. It encompasses five neighborhoods: Marxalenes<\/strong>, Morvedre<\/strong>, Trinitat<\/strong>, Tormos<\/strong>, and Sant Antoni<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Benefits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Drawbacks<\/strong>:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#2f9a64″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”2em||||false|false” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_color=”#f7c621″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]La Sa\u00efdia charms visitors with its authentic character, artistic vibes, and vibrant community.
