Old pictures of Catarroja

Catarroja, nestled in the embrace of the Horta Sud comarca in the Valencian Community, is a town steeped in rich history and cultural significance. The very name Catarroja resonates with stories of the past, a hybrid of the Arabic term إقطاع ("iqṭā"), meaning "land," and the Valencian "roja," which signifies red—colors of life, vibrancy, and resilience. As you walk through its streets, remember the moments captured in fotografías antiguas de Catarroja that reveal the town's transformation over the decades. While nature recently tested the spirit of this community with the overflow of the Poyo River in October 2024, the heart of Catarroja beats steadily, echoing the strength of its residents.
