Marshland between Silla and El Romaní

Highlight • Natural

You must visit this area at different times of the year because the landscape changes: the terraces flooded by the Perellonà, the dry landscape before the flooding of the area to sow rice, the intense green of the bushes, the yellow of the grain in the ears about to be reaped, etc.

Chimney

Highlight • Monument

The fumerals of the Horta de Valencia are almost the only vestige in the region of what was the Valencian industrial revolution, with its own peculiarities. Currently, the industrial heritage with which they formed a complex has disappeared. Today, almost all fumerals stand in urban centers, in the middle of squares or roundabouts, decontextualized from what their function was.
The origin of these unique chimneys lies in the proliferation of tiles that occurred in the Horta de Valencia at the beginning of the 20th century, with the function of fueling the urban expansion of the city of Valencia. These tile manufacturing workshops, located on the urban outskirts, quickly incorporated Hoffman furnaces, with more capacity and the possibility of working day and night, which made powerful chimneys between 20 and 25 meters high necessary .
In parallel, other craft activities were modernized with the installation of engines, which also required the construction of fumerals.
But in addition, the modernization experienced by agriculture, with a clear export vocation - especially oranges and rice - due to the introduction of the steam engine in the extraction of water and other uses, also caused the construction of chimneys, although smaller in size. The fumerals were a symbol of progress.
