Montornés Castle sits on Roman remains. Built in the 10th century as part of a Moorish defence system, the castle was reinforced and extended by the Christians after the Reconquista.
The castle is composed of three areas surrounded by a curtain wall and forms a triangle with Torre San Vicente and Casoleta de Salandó, two structures that served to further strengthen its defence. In the present-day, only some sections of the wall, cisterns and two watchtowers are standing. It is not known exactly how and when the fortress was destroyed, though it is known that it was inhabited until the 15th century.
There are beautiful views over the Plana (Plain) of Castellón and the Mediterranean Sea.
References:Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
