Sagunto

Sagunto gives a visit to Valencia province a strong archaeological focus. The Roman theatre is one of the town’s best-known landmarks, while the extensive castle occupies the ridge above the centre. Together they make it possible to trace different periods of history on a single outing, with the walk uphill adding views across the surrounding area. The historic town and the coastal area of Puerto de Sagunto are not the same place. If you want both ancient sites and beach time, plan a transfer rather than expecting the sea at the foot of the castle. Wear suitable shoes for the slopes and check current access arrangements at the monuments.
