Benisa’s architectural landscape is a captivating blend of medieval, Moorish, and modern styles. The town center, known as Casco Antiguo, is filled with narrow, cobbled streets lined with whitewashed buildings and stone facades. Balconies adorned with wrought iron railings and flower pots add a romantic touch to the town’s picturesque atmosphere. The Church of the Purísima Xiqueta, a stunning neo-gothic structure that dominates the town square, is one of Benisa’s most iconic landmarks and a must-visit for history buffs and architectural enthusiasts alike.
Among the natural attractions is the Sierra de Bernia, a nearby mountain range offering dramatic views and hiking opportunities. The La Fustera Beach is perfect for those who prefer a quieter, more secluded beach experience, while Cala Baladrar is known for its crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkeling and diving. Playa de la Fossa and the nearby Penyal d’Ifac (in neighboring Calpe) are just a short drive away and provide iconic views of the Costa Blanca’s coastline.
The town is also home to several smaller museums and cultural spaces, such as the Casa Museo Abargues, which offers insight into traditional Valencian life. For a more modern touch, visitors can explore art galleries or attend local performances in one of the town’s contemporary cultural venues.
