Bernia Fort

Castle or Fort Bernia is located in the municipality of Callosa Ensarriá. It is easily accesed through a path somewhat narrow in places but with stunning views. It is a military construction, Italian Renaissance in style and built in 1562 to defend the coasts from Ottoman attacks. In 1612, King Philip III ordered its demolition to prevent its use by the Moorish rebels. What we see today are the ruins left at that time: remains of the plant, the pit and the access system and structures of room. I totally recommend a visit if you visit the area.
