In this locality the river Júcar ends, irrigating the municipal term of entire Cullera, by means of a system of irrigation designed in the epoch of Moslem domination. The Júcar also irrigates practically the whole region of the low Bank.
To part of the river Jucar, also there exists the lagoon of L'Estany, placed in the south part of the term muncipal with mouth in the sea, this is a place of habitual fishing.
To the north and in a bend of the mountain, the bassa of Sant LLoren is ç, this is a big pond surrounded with canes and with the indigenous fauna of the Nature reserve of the Lagoon.

The city has been identified by the mythical Sucro (called Sicana before the Roman colonization), and it was populated for more than 25.000 years as they demonstrate the remains of the top Paleolithic found in the cave of the volcano.
The name of Sicana appears already in texts of the Vth century B.C., in one of these the location of the population is indicated in an elevation on the banks of the Mediterranean, along with the mouth of the river of the same name (today Rio Júcar).
As soon as the Romans were established in the Iberian peninsula, both the river and the city aparcen with the name of Sucro.
According to recent studies of the literary, historical and geographical sources where the said city appears, it was confirmed that the city that the Greeks were calling Sicana and the Romans Sucro oppidum was located on top of Muntanya of Cullera.
Centuries later, during the Moslem domination, theTown was called a Colla-Aeria (high Summit), adapting itself then like Cullera. It was in this epoch when theTown suffered a big transformation so much economic (systems of irrigation, new methods of cultivation, etc...) as socially.
