Peñíscola, Fortified coastal town in Costa del Azahar, Spain.
The town extends from a rocky headland connected to the mainland by a narrow strip, featuring white buildings and winding stone streets.
The Knights Templar constructed the prominent castle between 1294 and 1307, which later housed Pope Benedict XIII during the Western Schism.
The International Festival of Ancient and Baroque Music attracts musicians and audiences each summer to perform within the medieval castle walls.
The North Beach stretches for 5 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, providing multiple access points and services for beachgoers.
The Marjal de Peniscola wetland maintains one of the last natural Mediterranean marshes with specific flora and water bird populations.
