The district of Quatre Carreres derives its name from the four main roads that entered the Cap i Casal (an old name for Valencia). These roads extended from Ruzafa to various destinations in the east and south, creating divisions within the district.<\/p>\n
Quatre Carreres, along with Ruzafa, was annexed to the city of Valencia in 1877. Prior to its annexation, the area primarily consisted of orchards with a sparse population. In the 19th century, the district was characterized by a few farms, cabins, and farmhouses.<\/p>\n
To understand the annexation to Ruzafa, it is important to note that in 1836, Quatre Carreres, along with the current district of Poblados del Sur, became part of the municipality of Ruzafa. Subsequently, it was incorporated into the city of Valencia.<\/p>\n
Presently, the district of Quatre Carreres comprises seven neighborhoods: Monteolivete<\/strong>, En Corts<\/strong>, Malilla<\/strong>, La Fonteta de Sant Lluis<\/strong>, La Punta<\/strong>, and the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciencies)<\/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=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]Quatre Carreres showcases a harmonious blend of cultural landmarks, green spaces, and a lively atmosphere.
