What to see and do in Rafelguaraf

Rafelguaraf
Village
Rafelguaraf is a municipality in the comarca of La Ribera Alta, in the province of Valencia, between the Albaida River and the Serra de les Agulles, with 2,395 inhabitants (INE 2025). The name comes from the Arabic Rah al-Gurab, “Gurab's estate”. Within its municipal territory lies the hamlet of Berfull, with a walled enclosure, a fortified Morisco settlement with remains of a church and a manor house, documented in 1348 when Peter the Ceremonious granted it to Jaime Esplugues. Nearby, a clash took place between the agermanats of Játiva and the viceroy's troops; the place later became the lordship of the Count of Cirat, who built a manor house there in the 16th century. In the old town, the Gothic church of San Juan Bautista stands out, and the economy is based on irrigated orange, maize and vegetable farming.
Walled enclosure of Berfull
Monument
An old fortified morisco village in the municipal district of Rafelguaraf, an Asset of Cultural Interest since 2002. Its first documentary reference dates from 1348, when Peter the Ceremonious granted it to Jaime Esplugues, lord of Puebla Larga; it later belonged to Énova until 1574 and, after the expulsion of the moriscos, was resettled, becoming an independent municipality until it was joined to Rafelguaraf in 1846. The walls, from the 16th-17th centuries, surround the village and enclose the courtyards of the houses, around a central street; access is through an ashlar arch, the Arc de Berfull, crowned with brick battlements. A hermitage and the old manor house, with a noble coat of arms above the door, are preserved. Residents gradually abandoned it in the 1970s, and in 2010 its owners handed it over to the municipality.
