Peñiscola City Council

Peñíscola, in the north of the Valencian Community, is located in a privileged spot of the Mediterranean. The 79 km2 of the municipality are divided between forest areas and warm Mediterranean crops. The old city, crowned by the former home of Pope Benedict XIII, a castle-fortress of the XIV century, occupies an imposing rock that rises 64 m above the blue sea. Peñíscola and its surroundings make it an ideal destination for cycling tourism.
