Tossal de Manises (Lucentum)

Reviewed By P9830PIsusanc - Barnard Castle, United Kingdom

As a devotee of Roman archaeology, I was keen to visit this little-known site. We had visited the MARQ museum the previous day and seen interesting finds from Lucentum so it was good to be able to place them in context. I was glad to have found precise instructions of how to get there by another visitor Tripadvisor as there is no information whatsoever at the tram station or in the street outside. So I will repeat them here. It is 1.45 Euro each to get the tram (just a few stops) from Luceros. On leaving the tram at the Lucentum stop, walk towards the direction of the sea, and turn right along Calle Diana. Turn left into Calle Romulo and walk straight on until this street changes to Calle Zeus up a slight hill. The entrance is in C. Zeus on the right hand side. It was only €1.40 each for EU pensioners – bargain! The contrast between the ancient site and the adjacent blocks of flats was quite something. I also had not realised how elevated the site was, with fantastic panoramic views including of a number of surviving 16th century defensive towers. Excellent informative signage is in Spanish, Catalan and English – whereas in the main sister museum MARQ there are only a handful of small captions in English. After two small school parties had left, we were the only visitors – an archaeologist was at work cataloguing. This site deserves more visitors, but it was lovely to have it to ourselves.

Denia Castle and Archaeological Museum

Reviewed By Rcd78 - Wigtown, United Kingdom

We visited from Alicante the train journey from Benidorm to Calpe was picturesque. You are then ushered onto a luxury coach to complete your journey to Dénia. The Castle is well worth the climb. It is good to see it is unspoilt. We spent half a day here with our young children. If you use your manners and a little Spanish the staff are very helpful. There are no signs in English but you can work out what's happening. After all we are in Spain. We were impressed to find the café open on a quiet day in January.

Yacimiento Arqueologico La Illeta dels Banyets

Reviewed By R4935FDdavidb - El Barco de Avila, Spain

This picturesque outcrop of land (in historic times an island) was inhabited by the Iberian people and by the Romans and this site (administered by MARQ) preserves the remains of these inhabitants. The site is tremendously picturesgue and as you wander around the area you will see tombs, iberian houses, the site of a wine press and a bath house. If you go beyond the excavated area, you will find the area planted with local plants and can also see the remains of a Roman fish farm carved out of the rocks at the water´s edge. A magical place.
