It is also the capital of the province of the same name. The wider urban area also comprising the neighbouring municipalities has a population of around 1.6 million, constituting one of the major urban areas on the European side of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, at the Gulf of Valencia, north of the Albufera lagoon. Valencia was founded as a Roman colony in 138 BC.

In September 2018, the sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Spain., and Rato entered prison on 25 October 2018. Early life and education Rodrigo de Rato was born i ...
