Separation of Algemesí from the town of Alzira

Historical milestone · Algemesí, La Ribera Alta, Valencia

Image of Algemesí, not of the place itself.

The place, whose Arabic name alludes to the bakers, depended on Alzira until Felipe II granted it in 1574 the status of universidad with its own jurisdiction. The irrigation of the Séquia Reial had earlier multiplied its population and its harvests.
