Crevillent

Crevillent (Valencian: [kɾeviˈʎent]; Spanish: Crevillente [kɾeβiˈʎente]) is a town and municipality located in the Alicante province, part of the Valencian Community, Spain.

It is situated in the comarca of Baix Vinalopó, and lies at the foot of the hill range known locally as Serra de Crevillent.

In 1263, during the period known as Reconquista, James I of Aragon captured the city from the Moors and became a part of the Kingdom of Valencia.

The most important tourist places of the city is a museum with works of Mariano Benlliure, a Valencian sculptor.

Many of the agricultural areas, particularly El Realengo, contain ruins of prisons, ovens and torture houses used during Francisco Franco's reign and the Spanish Civil War in the early 1900s.
