Sagunto Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

Sagunto

Sagunto, formerly Morvedre, is an ancient city in Eastern Spain, in the modern fertile district of Camp de Morvedre in the province of Valencia. It is located in a hilly site, c. 30 km north of Valencia, close to the Costa del Azahar on the Mediterranean Sea. Saguntum was badly damaged in warfare, but has retained many Valencian Gothic structures. In the late nineteenth century a steel-making industry grew up that supports the modern city, which extends in the coastal plain below the citadel hill.

Attractions:
The remains of the Citadel (Castell), may be seen on top of the hill. It preserves much of its picturesque walled ramparts, of Roman and Moorish origin.

A Roman theater, partly restored in late twentieth century. It is found on the northern slope of the citadel hill. It was the first official National Monument declared in Spain (1896).
The Gothic Esglèsia de Santa Maria (St Mary’’s Church), in the Plaça Major (Main Square).
The Palau Municipal (City Palace), or town hall; a beautiful 18th century building with a neoclassical façade.

The early Gothic Esglèsia del Salvador (Church of Our Savior).
The narrow streets of the Juderia (Old Jewish Quarter), on the hillside on the way up to the citadel.
