Time of the opening,

The exhibition ‘The University of Valencia and its surrounding counties: The Valencian Alt Túria’ can be seen at the room Pintor Rafael Calduch of Villar del Arzobispo until 10 April. The 25 panels show the historic-cultural richness and its natural values of the Valencian area of the Alt Turia, through the research works that have been developed by professors and/or technicians in the regions of els Serrans and el Racó d’Ademús.

Mayor of Villar del Arzobispo, Carmen Porter, Office of the Vice‐Principal for Territorial Projection and Participation, Jorge Hermossilla, commissary of the exhibition, Ángel Morales, and its coordinator, Antonio Ledo (Dpt. History of Antiquity and Written Culture), have inaugurated the exhibition this Thursday, 13 March. “With the collection of panels from the high stretch of the Valencian Turia the visitors will rediscover the environmental, historical and landscaping richness of this highly valuable space, that is why we hope that many neighbours come to visit it”, said Vice-principal Jorge Hermosilla.

On the other hand, the mayor of Villalta del Arzobispo has thanked the work of the University and its effort to claim a space with a strong personality, with some interesting linguistic peculiarities, which has an attraction for activities such as sports in touch with nature and the cultural and environmental tourism, which allows us to contemplate the future with optimism.
