Peñíscola raises upon a rock of 54 m. of height. The castle, situated in the summit of this rock, was built by the Templarios in the XIII th. Century. It was the residence of the Pope between 1411 and 1423, at the time of Benedicto XIII, also known as the Papa Luna.

    The castle is surrounded by impressive walls. Previously, the city was completely surrounded by the sea. You are still able to contemplate the rings hold to the wall where the ships were hitched. Inside, it keeps beautiful Gardens with views of the infinite Mediterranean sea. The stables, battlements and other medieval constructions will carriy you with the imagination to other times.

    But Peñíscola also keeps for the visitor corners and alleys where you can get lost, hearing only the sound of the shoes upon the paved soil.
