Castell de Dénia

The stone castle stands 60 meters above sea level, featuring defensive towers, Renaissance fortifications, and archaeological remains throughout its complex structure.

The site evolved from Roman settlements through Muslim rule in the 11th century, later becoming a Christian stronghold under King Jaume I's conquest.

The Archaeological Museum within the castle walls presents collections of artifacts from Iberian, Roman, Muslim, and Christian periods of regional development.

Entry costs 3 euros for adults, with reduced rates for students and seniors, while residents of Dénia enter free with proper documentation.

The castle contains a Civil War-era tunnel system that connects different sections of the city, maintaining its role in local infrastructure.
