What to see in Llombai

Your itinerary in Llombai really should include a stroll through its historical Old Town. You'll fall in love with the ancient houses, quaint streets and gorgeous squares the centre has to offer. Along the way, you'll come across awe-inspiring ceramic altarpieces, a type of artistic display that can still be found in some of our towns. Before long, you'll arrive at Santa Cruz Parish Church.

This church was built during the 16th and 17th centuries as part of a Dominican convent. It’s Gothic in style with a richly decorated interior featuring Baroque elements. Amongst the images it houses of huge artistic value, are a Renaissance carving of the Virgin of the Rosary, and another of Saint Vincent Ferrer, the work of Ignacio de Vergara. In the main square, you should also make time to see the Town Hall’s 14th-century bell tower, a superb piece of architecture.

As we continue on our tour, discovering what to do in Llombai, we suggest you visit the 16th-century Hermitage of San Antonio. It is a simple building but has its own special charm. It can be reached via a picturesque climb up the Calvario, or Stations of the Holy Cross route.

In Llombai’s environs, you have Aledua Castle, of which a medieval tower remains, and the mill of the same name. Both monuments border El Tello Municipal Natural Area, which you really should visit if you love getting out into nature.

Here you have expanses of forest and undergrowth offering rich biodiversity, plus a stunning route that takes you to some of the area’s most beautiful vistas. By way of example, visit the lookouts at Estepar and Altos de Valencia, which offer breathtaking panoramas stretching as far as l'Albufera and the sea. And you simply must do the gorgeous Llombai botanical trail along the peaceful Magro River! What are you waiting for? Come and take a tour of this stunning corner of our land!
