Meliana is a municipality located in the comarca of Horta Nord within the Valencian Community of Spain. It serves as a local administrative and residential area within the Valencia region.
The town gained historical recognition for hosting a mosaic tile factory around 1860. During this period, the facility was noted for experimenting with specific methods designed to encourage worker productivity amidst intense competition in the textile industry. These practices continued until the 1880s, at which point they faced public criticism from a regional newspaper for being exploitative and unethical.
