THE THREE INPUTS.
The ''portal fosc'' was first main
entrance of s.XVII. On the door of ''portal fosc'' can stiil see one
shield of Felipe II.
Visting Peñiscola means you go back in time,
and feel you are in antiquity.
The second door is Sant Pere , ordered
built by Pope Moon in the fifteenth century , which gave the city a
new access by sea , . The site consists of a large masonry arch on
which is central voussoir Papa Luna shield sculpted by Filibert
Bertalla .
The third gate to the city , is the
door of Santa Maria, built in 1754 , by order of Fernando VI , to
improve access to the city. Inside we find the Plaza of " Les
Escaseres ", surrounded by walls which gives that intimate
aspect in which to sit and breathe that peace which is able to
Peniscola . Next to it stands the Chapel of Santa Ana , dating from
1827 , which is of great historical interest.
