Torrent is located in the heart of the L'Horta Sud region, just a few kilometers from the city of Valencia, and stands as one of the most populous municipalities in the Valencian Community. The city's primary landmark is the 'Torre del Castell,' a defensive tower of Moorish origin dating back to the 12th century, which once formed part of a fortification network and now houses a museum. Geographically, the municipality spans a transitional zone between the coastal plain and the inland foothills, resulting in a varied landscape. Historically, Torrent was predominantly agricultural, famous for its citrus groves and vegetable crops sustained by ancient irrigation systems. Since the mid-20th century, the town has evolved into a significant industrial and service center. Today, Torrent functions as a major transportation hub and a key residential area within the Valencia metropolitan area, with a population exceeding 80,000 residents.
