Peniscola and Miravet -- In Spain

The Phoenician, the Greek, the Carthaginian, the Byzantine and the Arabs appreciated the security of the town as a fortress. Under the name of Banáskula, the Muslims took over the castles of Cervera and Polpís, the farms of Beni ar-Rus (Vinaròs), Beni Gazló (Benicarló), Irta and even Peñíscola.

My companion and I  recently returned from visiting some Knights Templar sites in Spain; specifically the Autonomous state of Catalunya and the towns of Peniscola and Miravet. A most fascinating journey through architectural time.
