Despite the alterations carried out in the mid-20th century, it is still located in approximately the same place as the original. Formerly, it was preceded by another gate, the Porta Forana, but this was blown up in 1813 by the retreating French army at the end of the Peninsular War. The frieze depicts the city\u2019s coat of arms between two royal emblems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-907b879\" data-id=\"907b879\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51aee0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"51aee0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjMyNTMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cudHVyaXNtZWxhY29zdGVyYS5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjBcLzExXC9wbGFjYS1hcm1lcy0yLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2-1024x581.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-float attachment-large size-large wp-image-23253\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2-1024x581.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2-1536x871.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.turismelacostera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/placa-armes-2.jpg 1598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73cc0d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"73cc0d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PLA\u00c7A D'ARMES SQUARE<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fef5f7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fef5f7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is the castle\u2019s central courtyard and gives on to the Castell Menor to the left, of Iberian origin, and the Castell Major to the right, of Islamic origin with constructions from the mediaeval Christian period.

The <b>second gate<\/b> was built in the 10th century, during the Andalusian period, as evidenced by its L-shaped plan, although it was restored in the 15th century.<\/p><p>In the corner of the wall, there is the <b>l\u2019Esper\u00f3 tower<\/b>, which is a square medieval tower that stands out due to a recently recovered that still conserves a Roman ashlar base. Also, on a promontory at the top of the <em>Castell Menor<\/em> is the<strong> t<\/strong><b>ower of Queen Himilce<\/b>.

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Facing west and strung on the summit of the Vernissa Mountain range, there stands the <em>Castell Major<\/em> (main castle). After the Christian conquest by King <em>Jaume I<\/em>, it became the main defensive fortress on the road between Castile and the capital of the Kingdom of Valencia.<br \/>The <b>Socors gate<\/b> is the rear entrance to the castle and opens onto the Vall de Bixquert. Its name evokes the revolt of the German\u00edas in the 16th century. Another gate of the <em>Castell Major<\/em>\u00a0(Major Castle) is the one of <b>Santa Maria<\/b>, of Muslim origin and rebuilt in the 15th century.<br \/>The fortification was also used as a state prison &#8211; a<b> dark prison<\/b> &#8211; of the former Crown of Aragon, with such illustrious figures as <em><b>Jaume d\u2019Urgell<\/b><\/em> passing through its dungeons, who rebelled unsuccessfully after being discarded as a candidate for the crown of Aragon in the Compromise of Caspe.<br \/>One of the few medieval buildings that remain intact in the <em>Castell Major<\/em> is the <b>Gothic chapel of Santa Mar\u00eda<\/b>, built in 1431 by order of Queen Mar\u00eda of Castile. It is a small temple with a rectangular ground plan, a single nave covered with ribbed vaults and a sacristy. In its interior there are the remains of <em>Jaume d&#8217;Urgell<\/em>, who died as a prisoner in 1433.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
