Gandia is located between the Serpis river and the San Nicolás ravine.
In the 16th century, the level of culture which ahd been generated by local writers
such as Ausiàs March, Joanot Martorell and Joan Roís de Corella was consolidated
by the founding of the university which continued with the brilliance of past centuries.
Finally our city re-emerged reviving this great reputation but this time with the
added attractions of tourism, farming and exports.
The city centre still maintains the legacy inherited from those fruitful centuries,
for example: Ducal Palace, the Archaeological Museum, Santa Maria Collegiate Church
which was declared National Historic-Artistic Monument, the hermitages of Santa
Clara and Santa Ana, Sant Marc Hospital, Santa Clara Covent, the City Hall (1778).
The city's most well-known monument is Ducal Palace. This great mansion has
been recently renovated. The beach is within easy reach from the old town where
you can make the most of the wonderful climate to enjoy the area's beaches.
