ALBUFERA DE VALENCIA

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 513 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALBUFERA DE VALENCIA , a lagoon, 7 M. S. of Valencia in Spain, about 12 M. in length and 4 in breadth, 12 ft. being its greatest depth. It communicates with the sea by a narrow outlet, which can be opened or closed at pleasure. The lake is crown property, and is of
great
  value from the fish and wild-fowl with which it abounds.
Rice
  is grown in large quantities by the inhabitants of the adjoining villages. In 1812
Marshal
 
Suchet
  was created duke of Albufera by
Napoleon
  for his con-quest of Valencia, and invested with the domain; but the battle of
Vittoria
  in 1813 deprived him of his possession, though he still retained the title. Subsequently the revenues of Albufera were conferred upon the duke of
Wellington
  in token of the gratitude of the Spanish nation. (See PENINSULAR WAR.)
