Dénia Plaza del Consell

The Plaza del Consell de Dénia has always been a meeting point for Dianenses and visitors because it is located in the heart of the city, very close to the town hall. Located at the foot of the Castle of the city, the Plaza del Consell was born with the intention of simulating a Roman forum and its old design, with square orange bricks, will be remembered for many generations.
