The Alicante region has many beautiful cities and towns that have become a growing tourist spot for international visitors.
One of these is the town of Monforte del Cid. Located in the Costa Blanca, it is near the sea and thus provides excellent opportunities for many beach activities. Only 25 minutes away from the Alicante airport, the town of Monforte del Cid is a historical town that bears traces of its rich past in the buildings and archeological remains that can be seen here.
The Iberians were the town’s first inhabitants but the town only began to shape during the time of the Arab rulers. Many of their contributions and items can be seen at the Archeological Museum of Monforte del Cid.
Additionally, many of the town’s buildings are remnants from its diverse history and many rulers. An area of the town known as the Old Town is a symbol from the times when the Arabs and Christians lived together before the Moors were evicted by the Christian rulers.
Many other buildings in the town are the center of tourist’s interest due to their architecture and style.
Monuments dating from the Roman, Arab and Christian times tell the story of the town’s history. The church dedicated to the patron saint of the town, The Virgen de Orito, is a wonderful example of Renaissance architecture.
Whether you plan to stay in the town or in one of its neighbors, you should devote some time from your schedule to visit this town and enjoy its offerings.
