Tips from the Community
More than a castle, it looks like a hermitage. It is located on a hill and therefore has wonderful views of Alto Maestrazgo.

It is a short but very hard ascent, which will probably surprise us with its difficulty. We will start the climb with an initial section up to the crossroads of the CV-15 with some hard ramps already, we will cross the town of Rosildos, going around the church to look for the street that leads us towards Mas de Cervera, where we will join the "main" road towards Serra Engarcerán. Upon reaching a somewhat more wooded area, we will find a small rest, but let's not be overconfident, because after taking a left turn and the trees disappear, we will encounter the hardest part of the ascent, where the gradient reaches a maximum of 16% on a 500 m section that does not drop below 10%. We will finish somewhat more easily, but undoubtedly this climb will have pleasantly surprised us.

Municipality of the Alto Maestrazgo region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community). The place name comes from Arabic, and refers to the Berber tribe of the Zenatas. The abundant archaeological remains of the place explain its long history, from Iberian ceramics to the Arab castle and medieval walls. The remains of the medieval walls and the castle of Adzaneta, or the Torre de la Presó, form part of its cultural heritage. The current town hall, formerly a hospital and Palace of the Commander of the Setena Culla during the 16th century, is also a historic building.
