Monument to the victims of the Turia floods

In October 1982, fifteen years after the catastrophic flooding of Valencia due to the overflowing waters of the Turia River in 1957, a monument by the sculptor Ramón de Soto Arándiga was inaugurated by the mayor of Valencia, Ricard Pérez Casado on 17 October 1982.

The monument with very schematic lines in two as rectilinear bodies, cubist, 16 meters high, almost vertical, wants to glorify those who then and in other floods died.

The material is artificial stone for formwork, and the work was done in a very short time.

It is located on the esplanade of the old Aragon Station, surrounded by a small pond and a perennial flame of remembrance and affection.
