In this episode of Explore Valencia, we travel to Sagunto—a town perched between past and present on Spain’s Mediterranean coast.

Just north of Valencia, Sagunto traces thousands of years of history in one place. Iberians, Romans and Andalusis all left their mark—from its hilltop fortress to its Roman theatre and Jewish quarter.   

Beyond the old town, 13km of Blue Flag beaches meet a protected wetland that shelters over 250 bird species. A former pirate watchtower and rediscovered Roman road round out a city where daily life unfolds against a layered past.  

Sagunto remains a living crossroads of civilisations, rich in culture, nature and coastal heritage.
