Canals is a town of 13.771 inhabitants (2007). The traditional economy was based in farming and industry, although during the last decade most of the workers moved to the building sector. In 1378 Alonso de Borja, the pope known as Calixto III, was born in the neighborhood of La Torreta. He was the first pope of the Borja/Borgia saga. The Borja were lords of the town since they sold de place to the neighbour city of Xàtiva.
