Paterna, Municipality in Horta Nord region, Spain.
Paterna is a municipality in Horta Nord, situated about 70 meters (230 feet) above sea level with residential and industrial areas northwest of Valencia. The settlement spreads across gently elevated terrain where newer districts and older neighborhoods coexist.
Early human settlement dates to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, evidenced by archaeological finds of defensive walls and simple dwellings. These ancient traces reveal that the location has been inhabited for thousands of years.
The Ceramics Museum displays the region's pottery tradition, particularly socarrats tiles that decorated medieval buildings. These glazed tiles continue to shape the area's identity as a craftsmanship center today.
The area connects to Valencia through multiple transportation options, including metro lines, bus networks, and major roads. Visitors should know that different parts of the municipality require different travel methods depending on where they want to go.
The La Cordà festival takes place on the last Sunday of August along the main street with spectacular fireworks displays involving local residents. This pyrotechnic event draws visitors who want to experience the unusual combination of community and fire displays.
