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.

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.

La Cova Negra is an important archaeological site, located in the widest meander of the Albaida river. It was home to Neanderthal man in the Paleolithic. The cave gets its name from the dark color of the walls. Human remains and paintings have been found inside.
