What to see in Traiguera

In the municipality of Traiguera many different civilisations have left their mark, as its location next to the Roman Vía Augusta road made it a well-connected important central hub. After the Islamic period, Traiguera became property of the order of Hospital and then that of Montesa, and all these distinct influences are evident within the historic centre and its surroundings.

In order to observe all these different historic features, we recommend you first stroll around the town’s centre, enjoying the Mediaeval wall around it, and its fortified extension from the 17th century, now declared a Site of Cultural Interest. Walk along Calle Mayor and admire the gothic buildings, like that of the Town Hall, as well as the Renaissance architecture. You can’t miss La Asunción Church, built between the 16th and 17th century which also has an interesting parish museum.

Your next stop in Traiguera could be La Virgen de la Fuente de la Salud Royal Sanctuary, located in the outskirts of the town centre, also declared a Site of Cultural Interest. This monument started to be built in the 14th century, and you can now go on a guided tour around it to see all the stunning details up close.

Traiguera’s most prized treasures are its thousand-year-old olive trees that you can admire on a walking trail which takes you through them, giving you access to an area dedicated to these magnificent trees, as well as a visit to the sanctuary. You’ll be blown away by their beauty and age. And of course, you’ve got to try the incredible olive oil that this region produces.

Lastly, we recommend you explore the pottery tradition in Traiguera, its stunning ceramics a highlight after getting lost on a hike or cycle around the many trails that pass through the surrounding landscape. Fall in love with Traiguera on a getaway full of plans and experiences.
