Onda Castle is the first stop on our explorations. Did you know that it is called the Castle of 300 towers? Dating back to the 10th century, it is a magnificent fortress dating back to the Muslim period that is still in excellent condition. The castle houses the Museum of Archaeology and History of Onda.
Continue by walking through the lovely historic centre. You will be surprised by the beautiful ceramic panels that you will find along the way. Make sure you take a photo at Sant Pere Gate, one of the few ruins still standing of what used to be Onda town walls.
Next up on your list of things to see in Onda are La Asunción de Nuestra Señora Parish Church, a number of small yet beautiful chapels and the exhibitions at Onda’s Manolo Safont Ceramic Tile Museum.
