Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nA visit to Olocau allows us to enjoy the village\u2019s most significant monuments: the Church of the Virgin of the Rosary (18th-century), and the home of the Earls of Olocau, \u201cel Castillo del Real\u201d. The 18th-century Castillo del Real is an old Muslim defensive fortification which, along with other nearby castles, made up Valencia\u2019s northern defence.\r\n\r\nWe also find the remains of a well-conserved Roman aqueduct in \u201cL\u2019arquet\u201d, which lies within a park.\r\n\r\nLocal natural parks include \u201cel puntal del Llop\u201d, located at an altitude of 427m, and \u201cla Cueva del \u201cCavall\u201d\u201d.\r\n\r\nLocal springs include \u201cla Carrasca\u201d, \u201cel Fraile\u201d and \u201cla Salud\u201d (at the foot of the Al\u00ed Maim\u00f3 peak, the most representative symbol of Olocau).\r\n\r\nHouse of Senyoria del Comtat d\u2019Olocau\r\n<\/strong>It is the oldest building in Olocau.
