North of the Port of Valencia and just three kilometers from that city’s historic center, the lively architecture of the Barrio del Cabanyal-Canyamelar dots the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The coastal settlement, famously depicted by the Dutch painter Anthonie Van Den Wijngaerde in 1563, was once a fishermen’s village with rows of thatched cottages and farmhouses parallel to the sea, multiplying as the coastline was extended with infill from port improvements. A fire in 1875 caused great destruction to the site, after which the urban landscape was rebuilt on the original street grid. The buildings were designed using an eclectic approach, their styles ranging from historicist to modernist and later rationalist designs. The barrio was landmarked in 1993. El Cabanyal en Valencia es una de las zonas de referencia de la ciudad. Uno de los barrios marineros más importantes de Valencia. Desde el Siglo XIX ha ido incrementando su importancia como foco de referencia tanto cultural como social debido a su fuerte carga representativa como lugar emblemático. Hasta el año 1897 se llamaba Pueblo Nuevo del Mar, pero a partir de esa fecha cambió de denominación El Cabanal.
