The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.

nice town

Impressive facility and fantastic views

Nice to look at, very interesting object. The Fountain of the Twenty-Five Fountains (in Valencian Font dels vint-i-cinc "xorros") is a fountain from the late 18th century in the town of Játiva, right near the church of San Pedro. The fountain has twenty-five spouts, which give it its name. The central spout depicts the face of a bearded person with water flowing from his mouth, while the remaining spouts are in the shape of a snake.

La Cova Negra is a cavity that is located in a gorge called the Strait of Waters. Its black color is mainly due to the smoke from the bonfires made by its former inhabitants, the Neanderthals who occupied it for a few months of the year. An important amount of flint tools and other archaeological remains have been found here.

The Basilica Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, known as La Seu, is the main church of the city of Xàtiva. It began to be built in 1596 and is the most important religious building in the city. After the conquest of Xàtiva by Jaume I, the old mosque became a Christian church, dedicated to Santa Maria, as was the king's custom, making it the head of one of the three archdeaconries and archdeaconry of the diocese. In 1413, Pope Benedict XIII elevated it to the category of collegiate, creating in it fifteen canons, a dean, a sacristan and a bishop. It has been a national monument since 1931 and a minor basilica since 1973.
