What to see in Cabanes
Cabanes, about 84 km from Valencia in the Plana Alta, is a village of 3,475 residents on the Via Augusta route. Its visit joins Rome and the Middle Ages: the plain arch and the stone old centre, with the Mudejar town hall and the Baroque parish church.
The Roman arch of Cabanes, 2nd-century and a national monument since 1931, rises on the Pla de l'Arc over the road. In the old centre, the town hall occupies the 15th-century Mudejar mustassaf palace, and the church of San Juan, Baroque from 1791, faces the square. Miravet castle, linked to El Cid in 1091, belongs to the same municipality. The Mudejar town hall, the 15th-century mustassaf palace, shows medieval market life, and the 1791 Baroque parish church centres the town festivities. The visit takes half a day, between the plain arch and the old centre. Miravet castle, linked to El Cid in 1091, watches the municipality from its hill. The Via Augusta is followed on foot among orange groves.
