Enjoy a holiday in Requena and discover the iconic design of its medieval site, La Villa neighbourhood, where you’ll be able to see an example of typical Moorish town structure. The Muslim heritage of the town is evident in the Fortress and Torre del Homenaje, a tower that is now home to the museum of the Grape Harvest Festival. Take a stroll along the narrow streets of the old medina and lose yourself in what was one of the most emblematic parts of the medieval town.
