Alzira

Located along the Xúquer River, Alzira extends across fertile plains at 14 meters above sea level in the Valencia province of eastern Spain.

The settlement, initially named Jazīrat Shukr during the Andalusi period, became part of Christian Spain in 1242 under James I of Aragon.

The city celebrates traditional festivals throughout the year, including the creation and burning of large sculptures during the Fallas celebrations.

The Hospital de la Ribera, opened in 1999, provides medical services with 250 beds and integrates both primary and secondary healthcare systems.

The Renaissance city hall from 1540, now a national monument, displays civil Gothic architecture with elements from the Crown of Aragon period.
