Campo Olivar: Les Pedreres, Culture and Trails

Les Pedreres give Campo Olivar a clear historical character. They are historic limestone quarries stretching for several kilometres in Campolivar and contain archaeological remains as well as features of ethnological value. They also have landscape value. Stone from Les Pedreres was used for important buildings and monuments in Valencia and its surrounding area. The combination of the quarry, archaeological remains, ethnological value and landscape significance reveals the different layers described at this site.

Culture and History

The Ermita de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats de Campolivar has a simple bell gable on its façade, a single round-arched window and a triangular upper section. It is classified as a cultural heritage asset of local significance. The Ermita de Campolivar is an active parish church with regular services. At this site, both architectural details and its present-day religious use are central.

The Castillo-Masía de San Fernando continues to shape Campo Olivar; its chapel has been in operation since 15 August 1948. Its history also includes the fact that the Barony of Campo-Olivar was taken over by the Musoles family on 29 September 1778. These details connect the visible history of the place with a specific chronological context and a named family.

In the wider surroundings of Campo Olivar, Godella is home to the Espai Alfaro, Casa Museo de Ignacio Pinazo and Museo Etnológico museums.

Sports and Trails

The club also offers tennis and padel through schools for children and adults. The different areas vary according to the sport and type of use, so court sports, training and indoor activities do not appear as the same experience.

The trails in the rural areas of Campo Olivar are accessible. A hiking route passes through Campo Olivar. Campo Olivar thus brings together two clearly defined types of activity: organised offerings at Club Deportivo and a hiking route through the area. The accessible trails in the rural areas complement this specific route information.
