Discover Mogente: Archaeology, Nature and Wine

In Mogente, discovery begins with La Bastida de les Alcusses, a 4th-century BC Iberian settlement regarded as one of the most important archaeological sites in the Comunitat Valenciana.

Culture

The Museo arqueológico municipal de Moixent offers a chronological and thematic tour through the Cànyoles Valley, from prehistory to the modern era.

The central section of the permanent exhibition at the Museo arqueológico municipal de Moixent is dedicated to the Iberian world and explores life in the settlement as well as burial practices.

The reconstructed Iberian house at La Bastida de les Alcusses has an area for educational workshops where visitors can grind flour or open the lock of a typical Iberian door with a wooden key.

A Neo-Gothic religious building in Moixent was rebuilt between 1880 and 1889 following the 1748 Montesa earthquake and contains 19th-century stained-glass windows, murals and altarpieces.

The cultural sites offer different approaches: in the museum, the presentation follows a chronological order; at La Bastida, the Iberian past is made tangible through a specific site and a reconstructed house, while religious buildings reveal later periods of construction and furnishing.

A restored religious site in Moixent has Stations of the Cross and serves as a viewpoint with panoramic views over Moixent.
