Discover Campo Olivar

Campo Olivar offers several specific points of interest for planning a trip: Club Deportivo Campo Olivar, historic limestone quarries, religious architecture, and a hiking route. Sport, landscape, and culture are represented by a range of facilities and historical features. In the surrounding area, Godella also offers museums.

Sport and Location

Campo Olivar is located on the road from Valencia to Bétera. Club Deportivo Campo Olivar is within the Campo Olivar residential development in Godella. Its facilities include tennis courts, padel courts, a gym, a multi-purpose sports hall, and squash courts. The club also offers tennis and padel schools for children and adults. The range of options is useful for planning a trip: alongside the sports facilities, there are also schools specifically for two age groups. This allows you to distinguish between sports by discipline and type of offering, rather than reducing the topic to a single activity.

Les Pedreres: Landscape and Stone

Les Pedreres are historic limestone quarries extending for several kilometres in Campolivar, and they are of landscape value. The quarries contain archaeological remains and features of ethnological value. The use of the stone also extends beyond the area: material from Les Pedreres was used in important buildings and monuments in Valencia and its surroundings. The quarries are therefore not only a landscape feature of Campolivar, but also part of Valencia’s architectural history.

Hermitages and Local History

The Ermita de Campolivar is an active parish church with regular services. If you plan to attend a service, please check the parish’s current information beforehand, as arrangements may change. The Ermita de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats de Campolivar is classified as a Site of Local Cultural Interest. Its façade features a simple bell gable, a single round-arched window, and a triangular pediment.

A description from 2023 states that the Castillo-Masía de San Fernando continues to shape the character of Campo Olivar. The complex’s chapel has been in operation since 15 August 1948. The Barony of Campo-Olivar was acquired by the Musoles family on 29 September 1778. These dates mark different historical points of reference: the acquisition of the barony and the start of the chapel’s operation.

Hiking and Museums in the Surrounding Area

A hiking route passes through Campo Olivar. A report from February 2010 describes the paths in Campo Olivar’s rural areas as accessible and notes that works had been completed. For current hikes, check route information and trail conditions.

Museums in Godella, in the wider area around Campo Olivar, include Espai Alfaro, the Casa Museo de Ignacio Pinazo, and the Museo Etnológico. They add further cultural points of interest in Godella to the themes of religious architecture, local history, and the quarries. This allows you to distinguish between sports facilities, landscape and architectural history, and museums in the surrounding area when planning your trip.
