And it was certainly the main character of one of the most important moments, if not the maximum splendor of the city of Denia thousand years ago.

That is precisely what marks this Congress and the excuse to gather in Dénia leading experts in research, archeology and history of the eleventh century: the years that became Dénia Taifa and was an independent state.
