Beachfront at Peniscola
"The fortified town of Peniscola clusters around the base of a castle built on a rocky promontary, surrounded on three sides by the sea ... the Hollywood blockbuster El Cid (1961) was filmed there ...
The Castell del Papa Luna was built on the foundations of an Arab fortress in the late 13 th C by the Knights Templar. It later became the residence of the papal pretender Pedro de Luna, cardinal of Aragon. He was elected Pope Benedict XIII during the Great Schism. although deposed by the Council of Constance in 1414, he continued to proclaim his right to the papacy until his death as a nonagerian in 1423."
