Albalat dels Anecs

Albalat dels Anecs

Albalat dels Anecs is an ancient settlement, now abandoned, in the municipality of Cabanes, province of Castellón, Spain.

The interest of Albalat dels Anecs remains in its fortified church, a unique example of the defensive architecture of the Spanish Mediterranean coast of the sixteenth century. The church was built in the thirteenth century, and was later fortified because of the frequent attacks. It stands at the bottom of the Albalat castle, of which only a few remains can be seen. Nearby three other towers of the fifteenth century can be found, all of them with the same defensive function.
