Inside is the \u2018Torre del Mig\u2019, which has an important architectural quality with double horseshoe arches, and the most important entrance, the \u2018Portal de la Vila\u2019. Since then, various remodelling actions have been promoted, such as the planting of trees around the enclosure, the creation of accesses and the replacement of rooms<\/span>such as<\/span> the Torre del Consell or the Portal de la Vila.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1960s and 1970s, with the rise of tourism in the town, a road was built to the summit, demolishing a large part of the walls and destroying archaeological remains of the Vila Vella. The \u2018Palau del Governador\u2019 was restored in the early 1980s, when the Galliner Tower and the Red Tower were fitted out. THE CASTLE OF D\u00c9NIA Nowadays, in order to go up to the castle of D\u00e9nia, everybody has to go on foot or by a tourist railway, as the entrance of private carriages is forbidden in order to preserve the state of the monument. The residents of D\u00e9nia have free admission to the castle where tourists and visitors must pay an entrance fee of 3 euros. THE <\/span><\/p>\n

CASTLE TUNNEL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since its renovation in 2011, the maintenance and appearance of this passage under the premises of the castle of D\u00e9nia has improved considerably, increasing the cleanliness and stability that was previously lacking. <\/span>The construction of the D\u00e9nia Castle tunnel dates back to the years of the Spanish Civil War.<\/span><\/p>\n

MUSIC IN THE CASTLE <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Every summer, the esplanade of the D\u00e9nia Governor’s Castle, in the pre-eminent part of the enclosure, hosts 2 weeks of classical and hit song concerts in the Melod\u00eda en el Castillo concert period. Due to these concerts, the esplanade of the governor, besides serving as a spectacular view of the city from the castle, becomes the nerve centre of the nationally known melody. <\/span><\/p>\n

WEDDINGS IN THE CASTLE OF D\u00c9NIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The D\u00e9nia Town Hall has recently arranged several weddings in the D\u00e9nia Castle. Couples who wish to do so have the possibility of getting married in the Castle of Denia paying the fee (about 1.000 euros) and being aware that it is not possible to enter the pre-eminent part by carriage and that the banquets can be served in the facilities of the monumental group. <\/span><\/p>\n

WHEN To go<\/strong><\/h2>\n

D\u00e9nia Castle opens its doors between November and March from 10 am to 6 pm. In July, August and the first half of September, the castle can be visited from 10:00 to 00:30. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
