Benissa, Municipality at Costa Blanca, Spain
Located in Alicante province at 275 meters above sea level, Benissa extends along 4 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline with cliffs and small bays.
The name Benissa originates from the Arabic tribal name Beni-Hisa, and the town remained primarily Muslim until the expulsion of its last Islamic residents in 1609.
The Palace of Torres-Orduña functions as a cultural center and library, offering educational programs and exhibitions throughout the year for residents and visitors.
The municipality connects to major transport routes via the A-7 highway and N332, with Alicante airport situated 70 kilometers to the southwest of the town.
The Franciscan seminary in Benissa has prepared generations of religious scholars, contributing to the theological education across Spain through its academic programs.
