Benimaquia, Archaeological site in Denia, Spain
The Benimaquia settlement stretches across 4,500 square meters on the western slopes of Sierra de Montgó, featuring defensive walls and quadrangular towers.
The fortified settlement dates back to the 7th century BCE when Phoenician traders established connections with local populations along the Mediterranean coast.
Archaeological excavations between 1989 and 1992 revealed wine production facilities with fermentation tanks and decanting pools from the early Iberian period.
The archaeological site sits at an elevation of 220 meters above sea level, providing visibility of 50 kilometers of coastline from Cullera to Denia.
Researchers discovered over 7,000 Vitis vinifera seeds at the site, indicating an estimated wine production capacity of 40,000 liters per harvest.
