Denia Castle and its Archaeological Museum
Denia Castle was built during the town’s Islamic period, between the 11th and 12th centuries, over Roman remains and with subsequent reforms: the construction of towers in the 15th century, and the rebuilding of the Governor’s Palace between the 16th and 17th centuries. The site constitutes a heritage complex of great interest to visitors.
The visit covers the castle, its towers, walls, wooded surroundings and the Denia Archaeological Museum, while also offering panoramic views of the sea, the harbour, the Montgó Natural Park, the Torre del Gerro and Cape San Antonio.
The Toy Museum
The Denia Toy Museum is a perfect choice for family sightseeing. The centre brings together a collection of toys produced locally from 1904 to 1960, a period when Dénia was home to more than 40 factories in this sector. You can view tinplate toys, imported models and wooden toys, as well as classic trucks, wooden play kitchens and ring toss games that will transport you back to your childhood for a few hours.
The Torre del Gerro
The Torre del Gerro is a 16th-century Renaissance fortification, unique for its circular configuration and for having formed part of the coastal surveillance system implemented during the 16th and 17th centuries to defend against pirate incursions. The tower can be reached by following the Cova Tallada route.
