In keeping with the age-old tradition of burning furniture to mark the end of winter, sculptural monuments are placed on display in the streets and squares of the city before they are destroyed in a sea of flames on the night of 19 March.
The impermanence of life is a theme that is explored to its fullest at Valencia’s Fallas Festival in spring. In keeping with the age-old tradition of burning furniture to mark the end of winter, sculptural monuments are placed on display in the streets and squares of the city before they are destroyed in a sea of flames on the night of 19 March. With more than 800 of these spectacular monuments, there’s clearly a lot to choose from when it comes to casting your vote as to which of these artworks should remain unscathed.
