Sagunt's heritage site deserves careful consideration, as it constitutes a historical and cultural landmark that places it as a clear example of what Unesco classifies as a heritage site. The remains, testimonies of an exceptional past, position the city as a paradigm of integral heritage that encompasses cultural assets from ancient times and from its more recent industrial past, as well as emblematic cultural landscapes fossilised from antiquity, but also others from more modern times, including the mountains, the historic irrigated land and the port areas: from the Grau Vell to the blast furnaces and the iron and steel industry. Sagunt can be considered a meta-site in itself, a key city in the culture of the Mediterranean, a cultural and historical crossroads and a place of confluence of both land and sea routes.
