Oropesa, Coastal municipality in Plana Alta, Spain.

Located on the Mediterranean coast, Oropesa del Mar extends over 26 square kilometers of land featuring sandy beaches and rocky coves at 33 meters elevation.

The castle of Oropesa del Mar, conquered by James I in 1233, stands as a testament to centuries of defense against maritime invasions.

The Torre del Rey fortress, constructed during Philip II's reign, demonstrates the architectural methods used to protect Spanish coastal settlements from pirate attacks.

The municipality connects to major transport routes through the N-340 road, A7 motorway, and a railway station with regular services to Valencia and Barcelona.

The Museo del Naipe houses a collection of 5,000 playing card decks, including specimens recognized as the largest examples in their category.
