La Pobla de Vallbona, human settlement in Camp de Túria, Valencia Province, Valencian Community, Spain
La Pobla de Vallbona is a municipality in the Camp de Túria region with about 23,000 residents. The town spreads across flat terrain and shows a mix of older and newer buildings, with the historic center featuring a grid-like street pattern.
Finds of pottery and weaving tools indicate the area was inhabited by Iberian and Roman peoples in ancient times. The present town was founded in 1382 through a Carta Pobla charter that established an organized Christian settlement with straight streets.
The town received its name from a 14th-century charter that established it as a Christian settlement. This origin remains visible in the grid-like street layout of the center and in how locals celebrate festivals and maintain traditional crafts.
The town sits on flat ground with level pathways that make exploring on foot pleasant. Several green spaces and the Turia river offer opportunities for walks and outdoor activities throughout the year.
The area still shows dry-stone walls and old Cachirulos hiking trails that reveal how people traditionally built without mortar. These structures shaped agriculture for centuries and served as field and livestock boundaries before becoming partly recognized as archaeological features.
