What you can expect

Begin your tour at the majestic Basilica, admiring its impressive 17th-century Baroque façade, full of details and curiosities waiting to be uncovered. Through multilingual information panels, learn about the evolution of this temple, built on the site of Elche’s former main mosque, and its importance in local life.

Climb the tower, passing through four historic rooms that once housed the bell ringer and his family. Today, each room hosts themed photo exhibitions: interior views of the Basilica, images of the Main Door, the colorful stained glass windows, and the living history of the Misteri d’Elx. Take your time in each room to discover anecdotes, legends, and the meaning behind the bells, as well as learn about other local World Heritage treasures such as the Palm Grove.

At the summit, be rewarded with unparalleled panoramic views: the vast palm grove, the city, and its surroundings unfold at your feet, and you can spot distant landmarks through observation viewers.
