"Known in the Valencian language as Basílica de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats, the basilica in Plaza de la Virgen was built on the site of an old Roman temple. Constructed over many years, the result is a unique blend of Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassicism and connected by a covered archway passage to the La Seu, the cathedral at the end of the plaza.
The fountain is the Font de Túria, which depicts the Roman god Neptune to represent the Turia River that once surrounded the city. After the catastrophic Great Flood of 1957, La Turia was diverted to create a green space that flows around the old city in its bed."
