Los Mojones del Reino, Medieval boundary markers in Beniel, Spain
Two limestone monoliths shaped like pyramids on cubic bases stand at a height of 10 meters, marking the provincial border between Murcia and Alicante.
Established in 1304, these monuments defined the boundary between the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon following the Treaty of Torrellas.
The monuments, locally known as Los Pinochos, represent centuries of territorial demarcation and appear in the municipal coat of arms of Beniel.
The monoliths remain visible from the road connecting Beniel to neighboring communities, with dedicated parking spaces available for visitors year-round.
During the 18th century, under King Charles III, the original 14th-century markers were replaced with similar structures due to natural deterioration.
