The "Castell de Xàtiva" is located on the old road Via Augusta, which leads from Rome over the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean coast down to Cartagena and Cádiz. It thus held a very favorable strategic position and for a long time was considered one of the strongest fortresses in the Kingdom of Valencia. Even today it is still a grandiose and imposing place that is definitely worth seeing.

Wonderful place worth visiting and exploring. The Castell has a unique value for the entire Valencian Community since it was once one of the strongest and strategic points of the ancient Kingdom of Valencia. Today it offers amazing views of the entire La Costera valley and you cannot miss visiting it from the inside.
To get there you will travel part of the Via Augusta, an ancient and well-known route that linked Rome with Cartagena and Cádiz, running along the Mediterranean coast and crossing the Pyrenees.
