What to see in la Font d'en Carròs
Fuente Encarroz keeps a walled medieval core in the Safor, about 64 km from Valencia. South-west of the houses, the Rebollet castle stands on a 149 m hill as listed heritage (R-I-51-0010791, since 2002), with ruined walls over the orange fields.
In the upper town, the Gothic Sant Antoni Màrtir parish grew from a primitive church of 1329 and keeps the Crist de l'Empar and Verge del Remei images. The El Rafalí walled enclosure is the second listed monument of the town, whose Moros i Cristians festival runs since 1978 with over 700 participants in six comparsas.
Half a day covers the upper town, the parish and the castle climb. The town pairs with Cotalba monastery or Oliva on a Safor route, and the walled core rewards walkers who climb the sloping upper streets. The town is listed for history and festivals, with the 1329 parish root at its centre.
