Elche

Elche City Essentials

Elche is defined by its UNESCO-listed Palmeral, a vast system of over 200,000 date palms dating back to the 10th century. This selection highlights the city's architectural evolution, from the Islamic watchtower of La Calahorra to the Baroque Basílica de Santa María, home of the medieval Misteri d'Elx. Explore the archaeological heritage at the MAHE museum, housed within the Gothic Altamira Palace, and visit the Huerto del Cura botanical garden to see the rare eight-armed Imperial Palm.
