Museums

According to architectural documents and writings, the first construction of the fortress could be chronologically chronologically placed between the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th. With the arrival of the Corella family, Counts of Cocentaina, to the old medieval construction were added architectural elements of later styles, mainly the Renaissance and Baroque during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. At the beginning of the 21st century we have a square building with three towers that stand out to the north, southeast and northeast, while the one located to the northwest is between the walls of the convent. From the entrance door through the courtyard to the staircase you can access the first floor. From the patio you enter the chapel of San Antonio Abad, reformed at the beginning of the 16th century. The chapel is presided by the Renaissance altarpiece dedicated to the saint made by the painter of Cocentaina Nicolás Borrás at the end of the 16th century.
