Carcagente

or Carcajente, a town of eastern Spain, in the province of Valencia; near the right bank of the river Jucar, at the junction between the Valencia-Murcia and CarcagenteDenia railways. Pop. (1900) 12,262. Carcagente is a picturesque town, of considerable antiquity. Various Roman remains have been found in its neighbourhood. It is surrounded by groves of orange, palm and mulberry trees, and contains many Moorish houses, whose old-fashioned blue-tiled cupolas contrast with the chimneys of the silk mills and linen factories opened in modern times. An important local industry is the cultivation of rice, for which the moist and warm climate of the low-lying Jucar valley is well suited.
