History, Culture and Heritage of Benic\u00e0ssim<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”contenido letra-antonio letra-montserrat”]The unique historical evolution of Benic\u00e0ssim has endowed it with an extensive artistic heritage to enjoy throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The route of the villas that runs along the promenade and framed between the Hotel Voramar and the Tower of San Vicente will take us to the Belle \u00c9poque Benic\u00e0ssim and the heyday of stately tourism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.<\/p>\n

And if the tangible historical heritage is important, the popular festivals are no less so. From the patron saint celebrations in honor of St. Antonio and St. Agueda in January, the pilgrimage to the patron saint in February, to those of St. Tom\u00e1s de Villanueva in September, including the magical night of St. Juan on June 23rd.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”enlaces_home bloque submenu_descubre” css=”.vc_custom_1614172589819{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ el_class=”contenido”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”contenido”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” el_class=”row_enlaces”][vc_column_inner el_class=”boton-turismo” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1613998114483{background-color: #b997dd !important;}”][vc_raw_html el_class=”cuadrado”]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjIlMkZlbiUyRmx1Z2FyJTJGcm91dGUtb2YtbGFzLXZpbGxhcyUyRiUyMiUyMCUzRSUwQSUzQ3NwYW4lM0VWUiUzQyUyRnNwYW4lM0UlMEElM0NoMyUzRUxhcyUyMHZpbGxhcyUyMHJvdXRlJTNDJTJGaDMlM0UlMEElM0MlMkZhJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”boton-turismo letra-monserrat” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1615449722925{background-color: #a3ba16 !important;}”][vc_raw_html el_class=”cuadrado”]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjIlMkZlbiUyRmx1Z2FyJTJGdG9ycmUtZGUtc2FudC12aWNlbnQtaW50ZXJwcmV0YXRpb24tY2VudHJlJTJGJTIyJTIwJTNFJTBBJTNDc3BhbiUzRUlDJTNDJTJGc3BhbiUzRSUwQSUzQ2gzJTNFVG9ycmUlMjBkZSUyMFNhbnQlMjBWaWNlbnQlMjBJbnRlcnByZXRhdGlvbiUyMENlbnRyZSUzQyUyRmgzJTNFJTBBJTNDJTJGYSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”boton-turismo letra-monserrat” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1615449774056{background-color: #2789be !important;}”][vc_raw_html el_class=”cuadrado”]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjIlMkZlbiUyRmhlcml0YWdlJTJGJTIyJTIwJTNFJTBBJTNDc3BhbiUzRVAlM0MlMkZzcGFuJTNFJTBBJTNDaDMlM0VIZXJpdGFnZSUzQyUyRmgzJTNFJTBBJTNDJTJGYSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”bloque” el_id=”hermanamientos” css=”.vc_custom_1614172298422{padding-top: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”titulo letra-antonio”]<\/p>\n

Some more history of Benic\u00e0ssim…<\/h2>\n

BENIC\u00c0SSIM, OUR HISTORY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”texto letra-montserrat”]Benic\u00e0ssim is consubstantially linked to Jaime I. On November 29, 1242, Jaime I donated the Castle of Montorn\u00e9s and these lands to his notary, Pedro Sanz, in compensation for the services rendered in the reconquest.<\/p>\n

The baronies of Benic\u00e0ssim and Montorn\u00e9s were frequently the object of donations, inheritances or sales among the nobles of the area. A clear proof of this can be seen in the notable number of landowners who ruled the place from 1242 to 1603, when Violant de Casalduch granted a population charter.<\/p>\n

Prior to the reconquest, Montorn\u00e9s Castle was one of the most important Arab fiefdoms in these territories. There is no exact news of its construction, although, manuscripts and documents of the time, commented by Fr. Ram\u00f3n de Mar\u00eda, show us the intense life in the castle in the year 1000, until it was reconquered. We also lack news about its destruction and the causes that motivated it. However, it is known that the castle was inhabited until the end of the 15th century.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”44323″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text el_class=”nombre_hermanamiento”]<\/p>\n

CARTA PUEBLA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”texto letra-montserrat”]The main purpose of the granting of a Carta Puebla was to repopulate this area, which had been severely punished by the continuous attacks and plundering by corsairs and Berbers. Such a measure did not obtain the desired results, and only a few settlers settled in the barony. In this sense, there are clear traces of four small population centers, two of them seeking the shelter of the mountains, one in the fertile lands, very close to the current town center, and finally a small seafaring nucleus, in front of the Tower of Sant Vicent.<\/p>\n

The decision of the illustrious Francisco P\u00e9rez Bayer in 1769 to found a church in this place was the definitive impulse to the configuration of Benic\u00e0ssim as a town. Progress was slow at first, but spectacular from 1850 onwards.<\/p>\n

Benic\u00e0ssim has been one of the pioneering towns in Spain as a tourist center. Thus, in 1887 the first summer villa was built. Its owner, Mr. Joaqu\u00edn Coloma, was the chief engineer of the railroad works. This influential personage, made that important families of Valencia, began to build their summer residences in Benic\u00e0ssim. The great boom that Benic\u00e0ssim took at the beginning of the century, later earned it the name of the Valencian Biarritz.<\/p>\n

From the first construction until today, Benic\u00e0ssim has undergone a profound transformation based exclusively on tourism, to the point of having an extensive tourist infrastructure. Currently Benic\u00e0ssim offers a capacity of more than 100,000 tourists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
