December 5, 2025, Forna Village

Forna is a small, very quiet village in the municipality of L’Atzúbia, in the hinterland of the Costa Blanca. It lies nestled in a hilly, Mediterranean landscape characterized by orange groves and unspoiled valleys. With fewer than one hundred inhabitants, the village has an almost familial atmosphere and has retained its traditional, rural character: narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and flowers adorning doorways. Above the village rises the impressive Castillo de Forna, a fortified palace dating from the late Middle Ages. Its towers and walls define the village's appearance and are a reminder of the region's Moorish past. Later, the castle served as a lord's residence and remains a central landmark of Forna. The village's history stretches far back, as the area was already settled during the Islamic period. Even after the resettlement of new inhabitants in the 17th century, Forna remained a small, agricultural village that has preserved its historical structure. Visitors to Forna will experience a tranquil and charming place. The tranquility, the surrounding nature and the immediate proximity to the mountains make it an ideal destination for anyone seeking an authentic atmosphere and historical architecture away from mass tourism.

The start of the hike is a bit frightening due to the location (rainwater drainage basins and dog excrement), but after 500 m you go into nature. The hike is well signposted and easy to do with sturdy shoes.

Located in a location with beautiful views, the castle is currently being rehabilitated and cannot be visited.

One of the best views of the route that goes from Benissili Castle to La Foradà.

This back "terrace" of the castle is a good place to rest, eat and drink.

The castle of Benissili is historically known as the castle of Alcalà, and this is how it appears in the documents of the time, but it is better known by the name of the castle of Benissili, since this town is the one that is closest to the fortress . The historical function of the castle was to guard and defend the entrance to the Gallinera valley from the interior. This castle follows the normal guidelines of the Muslim castle, with albacar (large courtyard) and celoquia (citadel), but it stands out for its great extension, structural complexity and natural defenses.

Here you will find the signs for the detour that you can take if you want to go up Cati. In this case you have to go east.
