The Borgia plait is a sweet pastry traditionally made in the city of Gandía, consisting of finely chopped almonds and sweet "angel's hair" pumpkin.

In the Middle Ages the wealth of emerging cities was measured not so much in gold but in terms of the local products they could sell. Back then, one of the most precious commodities was sugar, an exotic and costly ingredient.

In Plaza de las Escuelas Pías, opposite the doors of the Antigua Universidad, you'll find a group of sculptures consisting of five bronze statues made by Manuel Boix. They depict five of the most famous Borgia family members: Popes Calixtus III and Alexander VI, their children César and Lucrecia de Borgia and the 4th Duke of Gandía and patron of the city, Francisco de Borgia. The statues were placed in Plaza de la Antigua Universidad in 1998.

A fortified Medieval farmhouse with three embrasures and a watchtower on each corner. The building was acquired by Alfonso de Borgia y Castro, youngest son of Francisco de Borgia. It was built during the 14th century and was the summer residence of the Royal Dukes, converted into a stately home for recreation and hunting.

Hospital de Sant Marc (Saint Mark's Hospital) was an institution for poor people and travellers that remained active for more than 600 years, from the 14th century through to 1973. The institution was founded before the era of the Borgias, although it is attributed to Duke Alfonso el Viejo. Francisco de Borgia's mother acquired several buildings adjoining the hospital to extend it. The extension culminated with her son.

The monastery of Santa Clara is an enclosed convent inhabited by nuns from the Order of Saint Clare (also known as the Poor Clares). The building is Gothic and was restored in 1967. It was listed as an Asset of Local Importance.

The church was built in the 18th century in the old convent of Sant Roc. The interior of this church is a simple religious Baroque style with a single nave, barrel vaulted ceiling and side chapels linked by a cloistered gallery. It contains one of the few Baroque altarpieces preserved in Gandía. On the front of the building you can still see the marble coat of arms of the 5th Duke of Gandía as well as those of the Borgia and Centelles families.

This fortified tower is one of the last witnesses of Gandia's old Medieval wall. The Torreón del Pino is one of the last remaining sections of Gandia's second wall, built in the 17th century. It was commissioned by Duke Francisco de Borgia in 1543. The tower was built on a circular layout and its purpose was mainly defensive. It's in Calle San Rafael, from where you can get a good idea of the enormous fortified monument.
