Cultural route of the Islamic cisterns of Petrés

Monument · Petrés, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

Image of Petrés, not of the place itself.

A route through Petrés that reveals old Islamic cisterns, oil mills and other historic sites in the municipality. Among the cisterns, the Pou, l'Aixeta and l'Aljub stand out: l'Aixeta is a medieval cistern now converted into an exhibition hall with an ethnological museum, and the Pou, opposite the castle, formerly supplied the palace and was rebuilt in 1803 with two fountains and a monumental staircase. The route also passes old mills powered by the Acequia Mayor of Sagunto, such as the Molino Moret, from the 13th century, and the Molino Malany, from the 14th, which belonged to the royal family until the 18th century.
