Atalaya Castle

Highlight • Castle

A very interesting castle from the 14th century. Recommended!
No information is known about the original Muslim castle. The castle was first mentioned in 1240 when it was captured during the conquest of the region around Valencia by Jaime I of Aragon.


In the 1970s, the castle's tourist value was recognized and extensive renovation work began. In 1976, Atalaya was declared a monument of national importance. What a good idea! The castle is breathtakingly beautiful and worth a detour!

As a sign of his power, the royal favorite of Juan II, namely Juan Pacheco, had Atalaya Castle expanded into a representative fortification, which essentially corresponds to the castle's current state. In 1480, Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs, took over the castle. They enfeoffed the Count of Ságasto with the rule. The castle subsequently began to decay.

Villena

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Villena, in the province of Alicante, is well worth a stop. Its old town has been declared a historic-artistic site and it is not surprising, since the town houses one of the most important Gothic ensembles in the Valencian Community, as well as a castle of Almohad origin. In addition, its archaeological museum contains the treasure of Villena, an impressive set of pieces of gold and other precious metals from the Bronze Age.

Santa Maria Church

Highlight • Castle

This church was built in the 16th century on the site of the old Muslim main mosque of Villena, at which time it became the church of El Rabal, the suburb outside the medieval walls of Villena.

The Church of Mary Help of Christians (Salesians) in Villena.

Founded in 1917 along with the Salesian House of Villena.

The image of Mary Help of Christians arrived in solemn procession from the Parish of Santa María on May 4, 1918.
During the Spanish Civil War, the altars were destroyed, but the building remained intact.
It has been a key spiritual and educational center in the city, linked to the Salesian legacy and the figure of Don Bosco.
