A historical icon of the city of Gandía, this palace used to be the residence of the renowned Borja. The exterior is not flashy and can go unnoticed, but the interior is very picturesque and ostentatious, something usual for the time in this type of palace. It deserves a visit!

Bairén Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Barbacana Castle, nb the origin of Gandia 😮​. The Bairén Hill was inhabited many, many years ago, since 3000 BC. C. The first written reference we have to the Bairén Castle dates from the end of the 11th century. An anonymous manuscript from the 12th century, the "History of Roderici Campidocti", which describes a battle between the Christian troops of El Cid and Pedro de Aragón against the army of the Almoravids.

Cova de la Verge

Highlight • Cave

" A small cave located in the so-called Senda Morada de Gandia, Valencia. This resting place, which is particularly worth visiting for the faithful and which you can easily reach on foot even with children, is a chapel dedicated to the Virgen de los Desamparados .
In the Cova de la Verge you can see various objects such as flowers, candles, sacred cards, toys, other devotional images, letters with requests and all kinds of votive offerings donated by those who go to the main Marian image for their various requests.
In the past, the cave appears to have been on land owned by the Rausells, a respected and wealthy family from Gandia, as indicated by the tablet found there. Back then, in the estate's heyday, the cave was at the end of a promenade on the estate, where there was a white stone image of the Mare de Déu, which sadly disappeared." Very, very worth seeing.
