Description


The Residential Templar Castle of Peñíscola It is situated on a small and rocky peninsula surrounded by the Mediterranean waters and equipped with a natural fresh water spring. It was built by the Knights Templars between 1294 and 1307, following the Miravet model and keeping, after 140 years, an effective and well-preserved Romanesque-Cistercian transition style. At present, it is the most well-preserved Templar castle. The monumental set has a main body surrounded by four towers and has about 15 outbuildings (porter’s lodge, cistern, stables, cellar, dwellings, stores, dungeon, arms room, refectory, kitchen and temple) distributed in two levels, around an elevated courtyard. Furthermore, it is known because Pope Benedict XIII chose it as the papal see during the Western Schism. ************************************************** El castillo residencial templario de Peñíscola Se encuentra sobre una pequeña y rocosa península, rodeada por las aguas del Mediterráneo y provisto de un manantial propio de agua dulce. Fue construido por la Orden del Temple entre 1294 y 1307, siguiendo el modelo de Miravet y manteniendo, 140 años después, un conservado y efectivo estilo románico cisterciense de transición. Hoy en día puede considerarse el castillo templario mejor conservado. El conjunto forma un cuerpo superior flanqueado por cuatro torres y dispone de unas 15 dependencias (portería, cisterna, caballerizas, bodega, habitáculos, almacenes, prisión, sala de armas, refectorio, cocina y templo) distribuidas en dos niveles, alrededor de un patio elevado. Es famoso además por haberlo elegido el Papa Luna como sede papal durante el Cisma de Occidente. ************************************************** Gracias por su comentarios en mi imagen de ayer:
