Atzeneta’s Castle

Carrer l'Església, 4

Atzeneta’s Castle is located 3 km from the town, about 500 meters above sea level, in the area called “Les Foies”, near the end of “Llucena” and the ravine of “La Pallisera”.

The only remaining part of the Castle is the Tower of Homage, which is built in Gothic style, with a square floor plan, with the old inn and semicircular arches. Inside you can see some valuable canvases, such as the Immaculate (oil painting canvas dated 1689), pointed arches, the staircase and even an oven from the time of its construction. There is also an 18th century altarpiece in honor of St. John the Baptist, which is currently located in the parish archive. The materials used in the construction are ashlars, ashlar masonry and masonry. In addition, there’s an hermitage, constructed later, around XIVth century, dedicated to the patron saints of thevillage: the Virgin of the Hope and saints Fabian and San Sebastián. This hermitage had a sundial in one of its corners of which only a small part remains. At hermitage’s entrance an ecclesiastical shield can be observed.
