Valencia Sagunto
Saguntum was the starting point of the Second Punic War when
it was taken by Hannibal after a long siege.
The hill-top Moorish citadel is the site of ongoing excavations
which can be visited, and the Roman amphitheatre has been restored.
Twenty-three kilometres north-east of Valencia, Sagunto is a pleasant
morning's excursion (by train or bus) and you can pop down to
the beach for the afternoon.
