| :: Places to go & things to do There are many places to go & things to do in Denia! Among the monuments in the town, we would recommend a visit to the 18th - century church of the Asuncion; the 17th - century Atarazanas (dockyards); the cloister and church of San Antonio and the 18th - century, neoclassical town hall building. Outside the town we can suggest the so-called hermitages of the conquest - Santa Joan (gothic), Santa Paula and Santa Lucia (gothic), constructed in the 14th and 15th centuries, and also the Torre del Gerro (17th C.) located on the cliff next to the cape of San Antonio. Make your way up to the castle and visit the Archaeological Museum. The exhibits will take you on a journey through the past, from the 2nd century B.C. to the 18th century of our era. The Ethnological Museum in town provides an interesting showcase highlighting Denia's traditional crops, particularly the production of raisins. If you feel strong enough, conquer the peak of Montgo (about 5 hours in all), You'll find it hard to forget the panoramic view from the top. On a clear day you can see the island of Ibiza. Windsurfers should head straight for the end of Las Marinas, an area held in high esteem by their kin. If it's nightlife you want, there's an incredible array of cafes, pubs, discos and nightspots in the Las Marinas district.
