Abstract


In this article we try to locate the place where the castle of Penna Cadiella, mentioned in the Poem of Mio Cid could had been built. To this we reintroduce the hypothesis expressed in its time by P. Guichard regarding the castle's location on top of the Benicadell range of mountains (Valencia-Alicante) and we provide new documentary and archaeological data. Likewise, we analyse the 371st chapter of Jaime I´s Crónica in which the battle fought for the possession of the above-mentioned castle by the troops of the Aragonese king against al-Azraq in the thirteenth century is narrated.
