The site is impressive: clustered for defence onto a rocky outcrop, a true natural fortress, the village can only be accessed by an archway hewn from the rock. From Sant Josep Castle, panoramic view of Guadalest.

This park provides a journey through Mediterranean civilisations: Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Iberian. The maze of the Minotaur and the Colossus are part of the attractions here.

Only the patio has retained its Gothic style in this house where St Francis Borgia was born. Today, it is occupied by Jesuits and you can visit some of the sumptuously decorated apartments, several of which have been converted into chapels.
