From its earliest days, Manises has been linked to craft ceramics. Ceramist activity is what best defines the city’s history and the reason Manises is known internationally for its earthenware and tiles in a variety of styles which have been produced since the fourteenth century.

Thus, the over 700 years of uninterrupted ceramist activity have left their mark on both the urban landscape and the city’s customs, practices and festivities.

A stroll through Manises affords a good sample of ceramics applied to architecture on façades, in parks and gardens or on the city’s most important monuments.
