Privately owned Rental property in the Xativa Valencia area on The Costa Azahar

Xativa is located 55 km south of Valencia, easily accessible by car or train and nestles at the foot of the Vernisa mountain range. Today's city dates mostly from the early 18th century when it was rebuilt following a fire lit on the orders of Spain's first Borbon king. The city is dominated by a mountain top castle, has a basilica and several convents, historical churches, noble palaces and is known as the city of a thousand fountains. Xativa also boasts a range of fine restaurants, a theatre and hosts two cultural festivals (in July and August) as well as celebrating the fiestas of "Fallas" in March and Corpus Christi in June. Within 40 minutes drive of the Mediterranean coast Xativa is also surrounded by forrested mountains, ideal for rambling.

HOME

Castle of Xativa is a famous Spanish castle located in the city of Xativa near Valencia. It is strategically located on the ancient roadway Via Augusta leading from Rome across the Pyrenees and down the Mediterranean coast to Cartagena and Cádiz.

In 1092, the Castle fell into the occupation of the Almoravids Dynasty who were expelled in an uprising that took place in 1145. During this uprising, the Castle was placed under siege by the Governor of Valencia (Marwan Abd-al-Aziz). In 1171, the Castle finally fell, along with the rest of the Levante coast, into the hands of the Almohades.

King Jaime I of Aragon began his crusade there in the summer of 1239 finally capturing Xátiva on Sunday, 22 May, 1244 following a five month siege. After submitting to the Christian monarch and signing the Treaty of Jativa the Moors handed over the smaller nearby Castle to Jaime I, while they were allowed to continue occupying the larger castle for another two years based on the terms of the treaty.

After the 2 years had elapsed Jaime I of Aragon repopulated a large part of the town with Catalan and Aragonese settlers.
