Barri de la Vila, recinte medieval de Requena, Medieval historic district in Requena, Spain.
The Barrio de la Villa spreads across a limestone promontory with defensive walls, towers, and various access gates forming an irregular urban layout.
The neighborhood exhibits its Muslim origins from the Almohad period, later transformed during Christian rule with more regular street patterns and religious buildings.
Three major churches shape the district: Santa Maria, San Nicolas, and El Salvador, each representing different architectural periods and religious significance.
The tourist office located near Plaza de la Villa provides maps and information about the underground caves network and historical buildings.
The district contains an extensive network of underground caves that served as storage facilities for grain, wool, and livestock during its time as a dry port.
