A comprehensive walking tour through a city of Iberian origin declared a historic and artistic ensemble.
Xàtiva, the birthplace of El Españoleto and two popes of the Borja dynasty: Alexander VI and Callixtus III
A city that was the head of the diocese during the Visigothic domination, although its moment of most extraordinary splendor was with the arrival of the Muslims to the Peninsula.
After the Reconquest, it became one of the most important cities within the Valencian royal territory. During the war that Spain suffered after the death of Carlos II, the city became a bastion. After the victory of the Bourbons and with Philip V on the Spanish throne, he ordered to burn the city down as punishment for the support offered to the opposing side, a fact that the locals… do not forget.
In this context, this guided tour of Xàtiva is presented. It is a city of great historical relevance that the client will be able to discover from beginning to end.

Starting with…
Xàtiva Castle
Ascent to the colossal castle of Roman origin, which gained fame as a place where nobles imprisoned by the Crown of Aragon were hidden. Almost all the towers and walls are of Islamic and Gothic origin, even though the origins are Iberian and Roman.
On one side, we find the Castell Menor, the oldest part of the fortress, and on the other, the Castell Major, which is later larger and better preserved.
The visit to Xàtiva Castle, especially the interior of the Castell Major, allows us to remember how they lived at that time. Elements such as cisterns, control towers, and dungeons saw renowned characters serving sentences.
The guided tour of Xàtiva does not end here.
The collegiate church
This large Christian temple is nicknamed La Seu among its neighbors and acquaintances, as Xàtiva tried to transform the city into an episcopal see.
Construction began at the end of the 16th century on the site of the city’s Muslim mosque. It continued for four hundred years and is still unfinished today.
The Royal Hospital
With Philip V’s arrival in Valencia, the city of Xàtiva suffered a serious fire, which damaged the hospital. Thus, in the first half of the 18th century, it was rebuilt with tiles added from the Royal Factory of Valencia.
… And more, it is a complete experience: the group will also visit the Church of Sant Feliu, the Church of Sant Domènec, the Church of San Francisco, and the Plaza de la Trinidad, among other monuments and places that make Xàtiva, the city it is.
