THE AREA

Polop's full name is The Barony of Polop and has a fascinating and complicated hstory.

It dates back to the conquest of Hispania by the Moors who occupied the Iberian Peninsula in the 10th century, when a fortress was built and named Polop.

The historic castle of Polop

In the 11th century, El Cid Campeador occupied Polop Castle before conquering the city of Valencia in 1094.

Over the following 800 years or so, Polop and its castle were used as bartering tools in many power struggles between various kings.

Following the abolition of the feudal system in the 19th century, Polop, like other Spanish feudal baronies and lordships, became obsolete but never extinct. Nowadays, despite having no political power as such, lordships, like titles of nobility, simply remain rights held as prerogative of honour.
