Alcala de Xivert

The Serra d’Irta defines the setting of Alcalà de Xivert — this low coastal range separates the historic inland centre from the Mediterranean shore and gives the municipality a distinctly rural backdrop. Above the town, Xivert Castle occupies a strategic hilltop; its remains combine an Islamic fortress with later Christian rebuilding. In the centre, the parish church of San Juan Bautista is a prominent Baroque landmark, while the municipality also includes the seaside resort of Alcossebre. Olive and almond groves continue to characterize the land beyond the built-up streets.
