Recinte emmurallat de Berfull, Walled settlement in Rafelguaraf, Spain

The Recinte emmurallat de Berfull is an abandoned walled Moorish village in Rafelguaraf, Valencia. Its masonry walls, possibly built in the 16th–17th centuries, enclose the settlement and form the rear courtyards of the houses. The village is arranged around a single central street with two parallel blocks. Access is at the southeast end through the Arc de Berfull, a semicircular arch of dressed voussoirs, with brick crenellations above and masonry elsewhere. Inside are an ermita and the old casa de la Señoría, whose main door bears a noble coat of arms.

Berfull first appears in 1348, when King Peter IV the Ceremonious granted a privilege at Sagunt to Jaime Esplugues, Lord of La Pobla Llarga. It later belonged to Énova until 1574, was repopulated after the expulsion of the Moriscos, and passed to the Dassió or Decio family. It became an independent municipality and was annexed to Rafelguaraf by Royal Order of 24 June 1846.

The village church was dedicated to Saints Abdón and Senén, the "Sants de la Pedra", according to Madoz's 1849 dictionary; Sanchís Sivera later records it under the Immaculate Conception. The old Señoría house keeps a noble coat of arms above its main door, and a chapel to Saint Anthony of Padua is documented here by 1732.

Berfull is an abandoned village, so there are no services, opening hours or staff on site. Access is through the Arc de Berfull at the southeast end of the single central street, which runs between two parallel rows of houses. The interior is unpaved and partly overgrown; the walls are of masonry with brick crenellations above the arch.

The walls were built between the 1500s and 1600s and initially served as boundaries for courtyards behind the houses, not simply as outer defense structures. This dual purpose reveals how the architecture protected both private spaces and collective security.
