Route of the Borgias

The Route of the Borgias is a cultural route, that includes sites associated with the Borja or "Borgia", located in their native Valencian Community, Spain. The marketing of the route was inaugurated in 2007.
The Borgias were a family of Aragonese origin, who settled in the Kingdom of Valencia, after its King James I of Aragon wrested control from Moorish rulers. In most translations, the family is known as the Borgia, the Italian way of transcribing the "Borja" surname from Valencian.
The Popes Callixtus III and Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia and Lucrezia Borgia and Francis Borgia are the best-known figures of this lineage that originated in Canals and Xàtiva, and via Valencia came to Rome, then return to Valencia to refound the Duchy of Gandia.
