<p>The current location of Villena stems from the Atalaya Castle, around which developed the Arab village. This spread around the present church of Santa Maria, former mosque purified by Christians after the Christian conquest.  Throughout the sixteenth century, the walls, along with the castle, were subject to successive repairs. Then arose the Christian town near the present church of Santiago, leaving the Arab population as a suburb of the former.</p>
<p>The town developed on the one hand, in the foothills of the Sierra de la Villa, steep streets, irregular blocks, while the real core and unique city is located on a more level area. In the late eighteenth and a city without walls, the expansion is based on the ways of Sax, Yecla, Caudete or Plateau, progress toward land, causing a spontaneous urban growth, focusing mainly west.  The construction of the Madrid-Alicante railway line, in the mid-nineteenth century, allowed for great expanse and the growth is still seen even today.</p>
<p>Some of the places of major tourist interest in Villena are the castle of La Atalaya, which was constructed by the Arabs around the 11th century, the Gothic Santiago church which is situated in the town, the Museum of archaeology, the municipal palace which is an Iberian treasure. It is also the birthplace of the Jesuit priest Pablo Menor.</p>
<p>The Moors and Christians Fiesta is held in early September and in honor of our Lady of the virgin of virtues of the patroness of the city. This Fiesta began its life in 1474 when virgin of the virtues was proclaimed as the patron saint and an advocate against the plague. The citizens of Villena vowed to go on pilgrimage twice a year, once in March, the other on 8 September. The Moors and Christians are the result of the conversion of the former soldiers, who were the provincial militia.</p>
<p>Although there is plenty to do in Villena itself, if you&#8217;re looking for some real nightlife you should visit the cities of Alicante, Benidorm, Denia, or Javea.  Benidorm also has the two fantastic theme parks known as Terra Mitica and Terra Natura. This region is great for sports whether you are into mountain climbing and hiking, fishing, jogging, or the many sports that you can participate in a long the lengthy Costa Blanca coastline.
