Castle and City Walls

The fortress was strategically located to defend the high lands of the Montlleó. Few remains are left, some of them can be found behind the church. There is more of the walled enclosure that surrounded the city. Defensive towers, doors and alleys are the most obvious vestiges.

Castell de Granadella

Though formerly it must have been a Moslem fortress, the preserved remains correspond to a small fortification in the shape of horse-shoe constructed in 1739 on the site of a previous tower from the XV century.

The Chapel of Santa Ana

Of the former Hospital enclosure only the Chapel of Santa Ana remains, built completely in coarse materials, with a round arch entrance.

Molins de Vent de la Plana

Wheat was the most important crop, and its transformation into flour began the construction of mills. The remains that exist correspond to constructions realised in the XVIII century.

The City’s Historical-Artistic Centre

The history of Xátiva walks hand in hand with the evolution of its current historical centre, which developed in the 10th century and had its boundaries set by means of a wall in the XI century. Visitors exploring its central streets will find a network of alleys and narrow streets that give a captivating aspect to the enclosure. For example, Corretgería street leads down to the ‘plaza del Mercado’, which is a beautiful square. Another place of interest is Montcada street, where the buildings are decorated with coats of arms known as "Blasones”.

Fuente Real de los 25 Caños

An analysis of the fountains in urban Xátiva, demonstrates the importance of water architecture in the local history. There are fountains in different styles, belonging to several different epochs, such as the Fuente Real de la Trinidat, in the Gothic style. The Fuente Real de los Veinticinco Caños, was a former watering place for farm animals that dates back of the beginning of the XVII century and the beginning of the XVIII century, fervently following the canons marked by the Neo classical current of the epoch.
