Castle-Palace of the Counts of Cervellón

Castle-palace of Muslim origin in Anna, converted into a heritage interpretation centre, with old stables, a courtyard and Arab rooms. It stands on a castle already existing in the 12th century, whose first documentary reference dates from 1244, when James I of Aragon granted the towns of Anna and Enguera to the Order of Santiago. In 1604 Philip III made Anna a county and gave the town to Fernando Pujades de Borja, first count of Cervellón, whose family converted the old castle into a habitable residence, in Baroque style, with a main wing facing the Alameda and a courtyard with a central fountain. It has been declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) since 2001 and preserves beside it the chapel of Santa Ana, overlooking the Sellent river.
