Main sights

  • Napoleonic battery: The remains of the 18th century fortress are situated in a small promontory on the east side of the new village of Gavarda. The Battery was built in a strategic point since from its position took control over the Júcar River and the road connecting Castilla and Valencia being used during the Independence War. The latest archeological studies show its use as a Fort.[1]
