Its landscape is characterized by its agricultural lands and the surrounding wetland, where boats, rice and the port shape its essence. The village has been traditionally dedicated to fishing and the cultivation of rice, although there is also a strong furniture industry.","galeria-poblacion":[41893,41898,41903,41908,41913,41918,41923,41928,41933],"descripcion_2":"<h4>Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nCatarroja is a great place to enjoy typical Valencian cuisine, with special mention to be made of its stews. This is the birthplace of the traditional stew \u201call i pebre\u201d. Furthermore, as is typical of the Valencia area, it offers a wide range of dishes based on rice, including: paella, \u201carr\u00f2s amb fessols i naps\u201d (rice with beans and turnip), and the classic \u201carr\u00f2s negre\u201d (rice with squid\u2019s ink).\r\n<h4>Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nThe centre of Catarroja is possessed of great beauty. Mention may be made of the Vivanco House-Palace, a residential palace dating from the mid 18th century. It belongs to the Baroque style, although it has neoclassical features. It is a clear example of a Valencian bourgeois residence. It has been declared of Cultural Interest.\r\n\r\nOther interesting architectural works: Church of Saint Michael (1701), Chiva ravine bridge (1767) and municipal market (1926). Local natural sites include the Albufera Natural Park, which is located just a few kilometres from the city of Valencia, offering a rich, natural landscape.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Church of Saint Michael.<\/strong> Archpriest church situated in \u201cles Barraques\u201d neighbourhood. The restoration work, paid for by local fishermen, concluded in 1701.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Roman Villa.<\/strong> It is currently buried, and only one entrance can be seen. This is due to the speculation carried out by the local council and the fact that a college has been built nearby.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>The stone bridge,<\/strong> dating from 18th century, which joins Catarroja and Massanassa. The original handrail has been replaced with an aluminium version.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Vivanco House \u2013 Palace.<\/strong> A building dating from the mid-18th century, which combines a main neoclassical fa\u00e7ade with decorative elements from the late Baroque period. It was constructed for the commercialisation of agricultural produce and silk, and especially olive oil and wine, and was adapted for these functions. This is an example of the strong influence of the nobles\u2019 customs on the local bourgeoisie traders. It is currently used as the Town Hall.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Municipal Market.<\/strong> An especially interesting building that dates from 1926. It has a rectangular layout and chamfered corners, and is accessed via six doors.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Catarroja Port,<\/strong> located on the Albufera Lake and where we can find buildings such as \u201cCasa Sulema\u201d, \u201cCasa Baina\u201d and Casa Primitiva\u201d, all saved from property speculation. The only one which retains its uniqueness is \u201cCasa Sulema\u201d.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>Festivities:<\/h4>\r\n<strong>\u2013 Saint Anthony the Abbott.<\/strong> On 17th January, at the start of the winter solstice, Catarroja celebrates a festivity in honour of Saint Anthony the Abbott. The evening before and the day of the Saint are marked by a procession, the sale of \u201cPorrat\u201d (sweets) in the streets and by bonfires. This commemoration also includes the traditional blessing of animals and a parade of horses and carriages, together with the sale of the typical \u201d St. Anthony\u2019s bread\u201d, blessed buns made with \u201cseeds\u201d in the Parish Church of Saint Anthony.\r\n\r\n<strong>\u2013 \u201cFallas\u201d.<\/strong> \u201cLas \u201cFallas\u201d are celebrated each year from 14th to 19th March, and are very popular locally.

A Moors and Christians festivity. The festivities are held in celebration of the fact that there are less than six months left until the celebration of Catarroja\u2019s Moors and Christians Festivities. The 8 groups (<em>fil\u00e1s<\/em>) enter the village wearing their traditional djellabas. Furthermore, a large medieval market is set up in the old part during this weekend, and a range of events are programmed in the area surrounding the Church of Saint Michael.
