BAÑOS DE LA REINA

The archaeological site of the Baños de la Reina is situated on the coastline, close to the promenade in the coastal town of Calp, whose most significant symbol, besides its beaches, is the massive cliff known as Peñón de Ifach. This coastal site contains the origins of the current town, as this place was populated from the beginnings of the Christian Era to the 7th century AD. The remains found in 15 archaeological campaigns has shown that this site was an important commercial enclave in antiquity.
