Peñíscola is a historic coastal town located in the province of Castellón, in Spain's Valencian Community. The town is built around a prominent peninsula topped by the imposing Peñíscola Castle, also known as the Papa Luna Castle, which dates back to the Knights Templar in the 14th century.
The castle gained historical significance when it served as the residence of Pope Benedict XIII (Pedro de Luna) during the Western Schism. The old town, with its narrow medieval streets and white-washed houses, is surrounded by ancient walls that extend down to the Mediterranean Sea. The town's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its architecture, festivals, and traditions, blending elements from various civilizations that have inhabited the area, including Iberians, Romans, Arabs, and Christians.
Today, Peñíscola maintains its historical character while serving as a cultural center that attracts visitors interested in both its architectural heritage and its cultural offerings.
