Xàtiva, Medieval municipality in La Costera, Spain.
The municipality of Xàtiva rises on a hill with a castle atop, surrounded by orange groves and Mediterranean vegetation at 115 meters elevation.
After the Battle of Almansa in 1707, King Philip V ordered the destruction of Xàtiva, leading residents to display his portrait upside down at the local museum.
The Collegiate Basilica, constructed in 1414 and rebuilt in Renaissance style, stands as the central religious monument of Xàtiva with its Gothic and Baroque elements.
Trains from Valencia arrive every 30 minutes at Xàtiva station, while driving takes 45 minutes through the A-7 motorway from Valencia city center.
Xàtiva established the first paper manufacturing center in Europe during the 11th century, producing paper from straw and rice still known as Xàtiva paper.
