Silla is a municipality in the comarca of Horta Sud in the Valencian Community, Spain.

"Silla" means chair in the Spanish language. The etymology of Silla is not known for sure where it is coming from. Some say that it comes from the Arab Sila, other from the Latin language and others from Catalan meaning "island". From these three theories the most commonly accepted is that it comes from the Latin language as it is proved that there it was a roman cellar where the town is situated now.
