Campo Olivar: Sport, History and Landscape
Accommodation in Campo Olivar
Campo Olivar is located on the road from Valencia to BĂ©tera. Within the Campo Olivar residential development is the Club Deportivo Campo Olivar in Godella. If you want to combine different sides of a place when choosing your stay, sport, religious sites, historic buildings and traces of the landscape come together here.
Sport as a clear focus
The Club Deportivo Campo Olivar has tennis courts, pádel courts, a gym, a multipurpose sports hall and squash facilities. The club also offers tennis and pádel schools for children and adults. For families as well as couples or solo travellers who want to incorporate sport into their days, this is a clear focus: several sports and activities for different age groups are brought together in this location. If you choose accommodation according to your interests, this sporting emphasis can play a role alongside cultural and natural themes.
Religious architecture and museums in the surrounding area
The Ermita de Campolivar is an active parish church with regular services. The Ermita de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats de Campolivar has a simple façade bell gable, a single round-arched window and a triangular upper section. It is classified as a cultural asset of local significance. In the wider area around Campo Olivar, the Espai Alfaro, the Casa Museo de Ignacio Pinazo and the Museo Etnológico in Godella are designated as museums. Those interested in religious architecture, local building forms and culture in the area around Valencia can take these places into account when planning their days.
Les Pedreres: Stone, Traces and Landscape
Les Pedreres are historic limestone quarries stretching for several kilometres in Campolivar. They contain archaeological remains and elements of ethnological value; at the same time, they have landscape value. Stone from Les Pedreres was used for important buildings and monuments in Valencia and its surrounding area. In this way, the history of Campo Olivar extends beyond its own landscape into Valencia’s architectural history. This creates a regional connection between stone, monuments and landscape that can form a cultural focus for a stay.
Historic Points of Reference in the Area
The Castillo-MasĂa de San Fernando continues to shape the area of Campo Olivar; its chapel has been in operation since 15 August 1948. The Barony of Campo-Olivar was taken over by the Musoles family on 29 September 1778. These two historic points of reference complement the archaeological and religious themes with a clearly dated local history.
Paths and a Hiking Route
The paths in the rural areas of Campo Olivar are accessible. A hiking route passes through Campo Olivar. For travellers who want to combine exercise with culture and local history, accessible paths and the route passing through the area complement the sports facilities, religious buildings and Les Pedreres as different themes for travel planning. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore weigh up whether sport, historic places or hiking should determine the rhythm of your days.
