Province of Valencia
Province of Valencia, Administrative province in eastern Mediterranean Spain
The province of Valencia spans 10,763 square kilometers between Alicante, Albacete, Cuenca, Teruel, and Castellón provinces, with Mediterranean Sea access from east.
The Spanish Constitution of 1812 established Valencia province, which gained administrative stability in 1833 during Spain's territorial division and integrated into Valencian Community by 1982.
The province maintains two official languages, Spanish and Valencian, with 265 municipalities preserving distinct traditions across coastal and inland communities.
The Provincial Council of Valencia manages regional governance, infrastructure development, and economic initiatives for 2.6 million inhabitants across the territory.
The Rincón de Ademuz district forms a separate exclave of Valencia province, completely surrounded by the territories of Cuenca and Teruel provinces.
