Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nIts main attraction is its 15th-century castle, which may be considered a castle-palace, combining fortifications and a noble residence. Of primitive aspect, the castle was constructed with a drawbridge and moat. The main areas of the castle are the bailey, the vestibule, providing access to the underground facilities which are now used as wineries, and the main hall, which is noteworthy for its doors, fireplace, stained glass and tiles, all added in the late 19th-century. The Church of the Holy Kings (15th-century) houses important pictorial works, such as: the Adoration of the Magi (15th-century), Jesus of Nazareth (attributed to Juan de Juanes, 16th-century) and a representation of Our lady of the Forsaken (17th-century), along with a sculpture of the Pieta, without overlooking the 13 side chapels of great artistic beauty.\r\n

Festivities:<\/h4>\r\nOn 6th January 6 celebrations are held in honour of Three Kings, patrons of the parish church of the same name. The festivities are organized in collaboration with the Council. Following the Christmas festivities, celebrations are held on 17th January in honour of Saint Anthony. The day begins with the blessing of bread, and in the evening the blessing of animals and sampling of \u201crollets\u201d. On the occasion of the celebration of the acquisition of Benisan\u00f3 Castle by the Village Council (1996), February sees the celebration of the \u201cMedieval Weekend\u201d, an extremely popular event that sees the local squares and streets decorated and host to music and parades in period costume.
