Cosa vedere a Sagunto

Sagunto Essentials

Sagunto preserves a dense concentration of historical layers, from the expansive hilltop castle ruins spanning Roman, Visigothic, and Moorish eras to the restored 1st-century Roman Theatre. The town’s medieval core features the narrow alleys of the Jewish quarter, the Gothic Santa Maria church built over a former mosque, and the 13th-century El Salvador church. Excavations like the Domus dels Peixos reveal Roman residential life, while the Museu de la Sang showcases local religious traditions inside a historic chapel.
