This place is a cultural space hosting a film festival, a baroque music festival and a theater festival

It is a fortress that occupies the highest part of the promontory on which the old town is located. Its construction began in 1294 and continued until 1307. The castle of Peñíscola shares with the Vatican and the Palais des Papes d'Avignon the privilege of being a papal seat. Pope Benedict XIII was established in the th century and transformed it into a palace. Today, this place hosts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Its state of conservation is remarkable, even though part of the fortress was destroyed in 1814 during the war of Independence. It is also a very active cultural area hosting a cinema festival, a baroque music festival and a theatre festival.
