Jardí del Túria 
Description
The Turia river was one of the reasons for the founding of the city, and for all the blessings it brought it also brought misery with regular flooding. In 1957 there were catastrophic floods in the city and as a result a plan was put in place to divert the course of the river away from the city centre and into a channel that could handle the flooding to the south of the city. Once the diversion had taken place the former riverbed, with all the city centre bridges still in place, was converted into a city park, which now provides a green oasis - away from, and below, the bustle of the city. You can wander down paths that pass under the old bridges of the city from close to the History Museum most of the way to the harbour. The lower part of the riverbed has been expanded to take the city of arts and sciences.
