Castle of Rebollet

Monument · Font d'en Carròs (la), La Safor, Valencia

The castle of Rebollet, a fortress of Islamic origin located in the present-day municipality of Font d'en Carròs, was granted in 1240 by King James I to Carròs, son of Count Alemany Carròs, who fortified the enclosure, established his residence there and built a church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, in which he placed the Romanesque image of the Virgin of Rebollet. Destroyed by the Castilians in 1344 during the War of the Two Pedros, it was rebuilt in 1368 and later passed, through marriage, to the Centelles family. An earthquake that shook the comarca of la Safor on 26 December 1598 ruined the castle, the church and the village of Rebollet, whose inhabitants moved to Oliva and to La Font d'en Carròs.
