Program Description
Stone walls rising above the Mediterranean Sea, medieval streets and a castle that has witnessed extraordinary events over the centuries. Peñíscola looks like something straight out of a historical film - so it's no surprise that its historic streets and landmarks appeared in the famous TV series Game of Thrones. On this trip from Valencia to Peñíscola, you'll discover one of Spain's most distinctive coastal towns, where the history of the Knights Templar intertwines with papal stories and fascinating connections to the world of television.
Peñíscola's location alone is impressive. Its walled old town rises on a rocky headland above the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. As you wander through its narrow, cobbled streets, you'll see whitewashed houses, historic buildings and sections of ancient fortifications. Accompanied by a guide, you'll discover the town's history and the events that have shaped its distinctive character over the centuries.
Peñíscola also has a cinematic side. During your visit, you'll explore locations used in the filming of Game of Thrones and discover how the town's medieval architecture became part of a fantasy world familiar to millions of viewers. It's a fascinating opportunity to see these historic streets from a completely different perspective.
Peñíscola's most important landmark, however, is the Templar Castle, built at the top of the rocky headland. This imposing fortress is one of the best-preserved castles in Spain and recalls a time when the Knights Templar played an important role on the Iberian Peninsula. Its imposing stone walls and defensive architecture offer a glimpse into the medieval past.
The castle also holds a special place in papal history. It was here that Benedict XIII, known as Pope Luna, sought refuge and made the fortress his residence. During your visit, you'll learn about this remarkable historical figure and discover why Peñíscola occupies such a distinctive place in the history of medieval Europe.
Peñíscola captivates visitors with its combination of monumental architecture, fascinating history and coastal setting. From centuries-old streets to the fortress towering above the shoreline, every corner reveals another chapter of the town's remarkable story. For fans of Game of Thrones, it's also a chance to see familiar filming locations in person.
