Pull on some walking shoes and set off on an exploration of an archaeological site sitting in the midst of nature. Discover everything you need to know ahead of your visit.

La Serreta is an archaeological site dating back to the Iberian period that you can visit in Alcoy. A great way to get here is walking a lovely hiking trail. At the site, you’ll see the remains of both a settlement and a sanctuary, sitting in a location affording the most beautiful views.

Remains and fragments have been found in the sanctuary at La Serreta in Alcoy showing that it was a place of worship for a goddess called Diosa Madre de la Serreta. Small terracotta pieces were given to her as an offering. The Camilo Visedo Montó Municipal Archaeological Museum is full of information about the site: we’d recommend taking a look around before making your way to La Serreta.

To get to the archaeological site, we'd suggest wearing comfortable footwear. The site sits on the top of a hill and the only way to get there is on foot. Visiting La Serreta is a great way to complement your stay in Alcoy, but make sure you save some time to see the Rock Art at La Sarga too.
