The Castle of Xàtiva, located at the top of the Sierra Vernisa, is an imposing fortress with centuries of history. From its walls, you can enjoy panoramic views and a journey through the civilizations that defended this strategic enclave: Romans, Muslims and Christians.

The imposing Xàtiva Castle

Xàtiva is a must-see if you have a few extra days in Valencia, a place full of history like no other. Its majestic double castle high in the Sierra Vernisa offers one of the most spectacular views in the region. Xàtiva Castle has been the scene of important historical episodes, from Roman times to the Reconquista. As you walk through its towers and walls, you can feel the greatness of its past. The slopes of the castle offer hiking trails, ideal for lovers of nature and history. Don’t miss a visit to the museum that houses the upside-down portrait of the infamous Philip V, a peculiar tradition that speaks to the city’s turbulent history.

If you want to visit it and be taken there, you’ll love this excursion with transport included.
