The present edition of the III International Conference Traductio et Traditio Mediaevales: Didacticism in literature and the transmission of knowledge will take place at the castle of Peníscola, the city in the sea.
From its templar origins in the late 13th century to this day, the castle of Peníscola has played an important role in historical events such as the Western Schism -being the residence of Pope Luna-, English sieges during the War of Succession, or the start of the tourist industry on the Valencian coast.
From the top of the castle’s walls, the visitor’s eyes are drawn towards the Badum Tower on the edge of the Serra d’Irta, a sentinel that has guarded the coast since as far back as Muslim times. The narrow streets and stone floors of Peñíscola also hide little gems such as the lighthouse, the Bufador, or the House of the Shells.
In fact, the charm that characterises Peníscola and its streets has been decisive for its being chosen as the scenery of important audiovisual productions, such as Calabuch (1956), El Cid (1965), or Game of Thrones (2015).
Calabuch (1956)
El Cid (1965)
Game of Thrones (2015)
It is advisable to book a hotel or apartment in advance (suggestions will be soon published on this website). Additionally, paying attention to the location is essential, as accommodation may be found several kilometres from the urban centre, which is not convenient for moving around during the conference.
