La Murta, located in the municipality of Alzira, Valencia, is a captivating valley nestled within the Serra de Corbera mountain range. Known for its lush Mediterranean vegetation, craggy peaks, and tranquil ambiance, La Murta is a popular destination for hikers, climbers, and history enthusiasts. The valley is home to the Monasterio de la Murta, a historic monastery founded in the 14th century by the Hieronymite order, which once served as a center of religious and cultural significance in the region. Although in ruins today, the monastery’s remains, including its aqueduct and bell tower, offer visitors a glimpse into its storied past.
