This will be a wonderful spot to admire the fine sand of the coast and the soothing waves of the Mediterranean. 

The Castle of Peñíscola

This is one of the most outstanding and iconic places in the city. It was built between 1294 and 1307 by the Knights Templar, but was later modified to be the official residence of Pope Benedict XIII, better known as Pope Luna.
