L’Olivereta and Extramurs. City of neighbourhoods
At the crossroads of the streets of Quart and Guillem de Castro rise majestically the Torres de Quart guarding one of the accesses to the old quarter of Valencia since the fifteenth century. If we cross this door towards Extramurs, we will find a surprising, modern and functional city, which invites us to discover through its streets authentic treasures, testimonies of the progress of society as we know it today. And this is what is presented in this volume: a pleasant and pleasant walk that takes us to the most recent past to understand today’s Valencia, of working class origin, through two of its districts and the nine neighbourhoods that form them: Extramurs, with the Botanical Garden, La Roqueta, La Petxina and Arrancapins; and Olivereta, which includes Nou Moles, Tres Forques, La Fontsanta, La Llum and Soternes.
