아스피‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Elche is perfect for a cultural visit and a stroll. Basilica of Santa María A majestic Baroque church where the famous Misteri d’Elx, declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is performed. Its tower offers panoramic views of the city center and the Palmeral (palm grove). Altamira Palace and MAHE Museum A medieval fortress converted into an archaeological museum. Ideal for learning about the Iberian, Roman, and Arab history of the city. Municipal Park Historic gardens with palm trees, ponds, and the Molí del Real (18th century). Perfect for walking and relaxing.

This palm forest, a World Heritage Site, boasts of being the largest of its kind in Europe, although it is believed that it must have been even larger in Arab times. This monumental complex of orchards has more than 200,000 palm trees, originally cultivated for their delicious dates.

The Huerto de la Cura is a beautifully landscaped garden with various palm trees, cacti, citrus trees, ducks, pheasants, ponds, etc. I find the entrance fee of 6.50 euros (as of Jan 2025, pensioners and children pay less) steep, but I would spend the money again without hesitation.

The Palmeral extends over an area of 1.5 km² within the city of Elche and includes the city park and many orchards.

Once in the city, you should definitely visit the Parque Municipal! It's worth it. Modern Elx was practically built into the palm forest, which forms a more or less connected network of smaller and larger palm forests and gardens.

The Municipal Park of Elche stands out for its imposing palm trees, a corner of peace in the heart of the city center and surrounded in turn by extensive plantations that make up the largest palm grove in Europe.

This palm forest, a World Heritage Site, boasts of being the largest of its kind in Europe, although it is believed that in Arab times it must have been even larger. This monumental set of orchards has more than 200,000 specimens of palm trees, originally cultivated for their delicious dates.

Elche explored and finds it a beautiful city with its palms and the botanical garden definitely worth a visit
