Xàtiva Essentials

Xàtiva, the birthplace of Popes Calixtus III and Alexander VI, is defined by its strategic twin fortress spanning the Sierra del Castell. The city's history is marked by its resistance during the War of the Spanish Succession, famously commemorated by the upside-down portrait of Philip V in the Almodí Museum. This selection covers Xàtiva's evolution from the Neanderthal remains of Cova Negra and Roman foundations to the monumental Renaissance architecture of the Basílica de Santa Maria and the 13th-century Sant Feliu church.
