DENIA CASTLE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Denia Castle was constructed during the town’s Islamic period, between the 11th and 12th century, on the site of Roman ruins. It was later reformed with the addition of the towers in the 15th century and the reconstruction of the Governor’s Palace between the 16th and 17th century. This site offers a wealth of local heritage for the visitor.

The visit includes the castle, towers, ramparts, woodlands and the Archaeological Museum of Denia, not forgetting the views over the sea, the port, Montgó Natural Park, Gerro Tower and Cape San Antonio. Remember that night visits are possible during the summer.

GERRO TOWER

Gerro Tower is a unique Renaissance fortification (16th century) constructed in a circular shape. It was part of the coastal surveillance system created in the 16th and 17th century to defend the area from pirates. The Cova Tallada trail takes you to the Gerro Tower.
