The Mare de Déu del Lluch (“la Moreneta”) is the patron of Alzira and in this town festivals are celebrated in her honour at the end of September. The festivities extend for seven days, between the penultimate Sunday, when the image drops from its sanctuary, and the last Sunday of the month, when it rises again.

Since 2007, the mutiny staged by silk workers in 1856 has been commemorated, as well as the spinners’ strike of 1902. For this historical commemoration, bonfires are held in the Plaza del Pilar in the neighbourhood of Velluters. For this reason, this festival is known as “La Foguera del Motí dels Velluters” and it takes place on the last weekend of the month of January. 

The Falles is a festival with a tradition rooted in the city of Valencia and different populations of the Region of Valencia. This festival has become a very important tourist attraction, since, in addition to being classified as a festival of International Tourist Interest, in November 2016 UNESCO entered it in its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The creation of the Seminary College of Corpus Christi is directly related to the great effort of renewal and reform of the Catholic Church driven forward by the celebration of the very important Council of Trent. Once Juan de Ribera was appointed archbishop of Valencia, he applied himself to promoting the new conciliar provisions, which were not accepted by all, on the bases established with great effort, by his predecessor, the holy Archbishop Tomás de Villanueva.

The Velluters neighbourhood owes its name to the principal occupation of its residents: the silk trade (velluter in Valencian), and the high concentration of silk looms located in it.

The College of High Silk Art is located in a building acquired by the Gremi de Velluters in 1494.

In the Marxalenes park is the farmhouse or Alquería (rural community) of Félix, originally from the 16th century. It is housing for farmers, of the Valls family, also used for agricultural activities. In the mid-17th century, the upper floor dedicated to agricultural activities became a dryer for tobacco leaves and a silkworm nursery. This store is popularly known as chambers. The silk swaths or llits de cucs from the beginning of the 19th century are conserved here today.

Requena Municipal Museum is located in the former Royal Convent of Carmen. The foundation of this convent at the end of the 13th century was due to the Infant Alfonso de la Cerda, grandson of Alfonso X of Castile and Louis IX of France, and it is the oldest of the Carmelite Order in all of Castile. The baroque cloister is notable in its architecture.
