The Institut Valencià d’Art Modern, IVAM, was born in 1986 with the approval of its founding law as public law entity by the valencian Parliament. Knowledge, expansion, protection, promotion and diffusion of modern and contemporary art are its principal objectives. Its programme of activities includes the exhibition of its art collection, the organization of temporary exhibitions and the edition of catalogues and other publications that go into the topics of the exhibits in depth, as well as the organization of conferences, courses, workshops and concerts that are related to the works on display and other areas in contemporary art. The space in which is located, the Centre Julio González, is a new building opened in 1989, in which the museum collection is exhibited alongside other temporary exhibitions. It also has a hall, the Sala de la Muralla, located in the basement of the building that preserves the remains of the medieval fortification of the city.

El Carmen (in Valencia Carme) is one of the districts of Ciutat Vella, which forms the historic center of the city of Valencia.

Its population was 6,155 inhabitants in 2008

Bioparc believes that conservation practices must be made within the appropriate time, before the species cross the threshold of minimum acceptable population and by joining the World Conservation Programs of Nature. To this end, it has created the BIOPARC Foundation . Bioparc Valencia is actively integrated into the organizations dedicated to the conservation of nature and in particular in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) , governed under a basic argument, according to which: preserve the habitat of the species it is imperative to save the species itself requirement.

The Turia Gardens is a public park of 110 ha; It located in the city of Valencia. This park is one of the most visited Valencia and Spain. It is the largest purely urban garden of Spain. Founded in 1986, several decades after the great flood of Valencia. After the flood, the city council and the Government of Spain planned in the 1960s to build a core of communications (highways and other transportation) that would connect the port to the airport and also solventase internal traffic. Later, after the citizens' movement 'i nostre the Riu is the volem Green' (the river is ours and we want green) a turn to his conversion occurred in a place of leisure and nature for citizens and visitors. In 1986 the park was opened in one of the most centrally located next to the Jardines del Real (popularly, 'Nurseries') sections. The garden crosses the city from practically the port, more specifically from the City of Arts and Sciences to the new Bioparc, replacing the old Zoo of Valencia.
