City of Murcia

The city of Murcia offers a wide range of possibilities. In addition to its millenary legacy, you should not miss its reli- gious monuments such as The Cathedral, the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Fuensanta, the Bishop’s Palace, and the Jerónimos Monastery. Beautiful places to visit include: El Castillo de Monteagudo, 3.5 miles from the city of Murcia and from where you can get a panoramic view of the valley where Huerta Murciana extends. The Almudí Palace, a building built in the 15th century and the Esplanada del Malecón, are places that you cannot miss when you visit this friendly and welcoming city.

Murcia is an open and dynamic city, with a favorable loca- tion in the Mediterranean arc, making it a highly attrac- tive city for gatherings and cultural activities. When you walk through the streets of Murcia, you will find beautiful architectural treasures, among which we can highlight, the Cathedral that began to be built in the 14th century with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements; the 18th cen- tury Episcopal Palace; and the eclectic style of the Romea Theater of the 19th century, which is one of the most important cultural references of the city.
