What to expect
The emblematic castle that makes it up has existed, according to historical archives, since 1244 when King Jaume I gave the Villa de Anna to the Order of Santiago. The courtyard and the Arab halls of this Palace will be visited, which recreate the decorative world of the Muslims, settled in this municipality from the 12th century, with their splendid ceramic mosaics, coffered ceilings and plasterwork. The modern age makes its way into the Borja and Cervellón rooms, setting each era with decoration and furniture and with a multimedia projection that uses images and sounds to bring the visitor closer to the families that owned Anna County.
Casa Rural El Lago
During the visit to Anna you will be able to appreciate its lakes, which receive fresh water from different springs and in them you can find ducks, geese and numerous species of waterfowl. In its waters you can also find barbels and trout. In the small islet of the lake, Mesolithic and Eneolithic remains were found, since the Albufera de Anna was a place of prehistoric settlements.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
