Round arch portal, with large stone dovelas. Once the door is crossed, two-storey cloister and brick factory, it surrounds a stone courtyard, under which there is a subterranean. Stone staircase with support for descending and strong railing, it goes up to the gallery, which leads to a flowered door also made of stone. ” Its main door looked towards Paterna and in it was a well and a large tree. The only thing that remains of the castle is the name of the street where it was located. Among the tiny tiles of the stylized rose and other larger and more modern ones there are some, very few of medium dimensions that look like a white horse, saddled and saddled on a blue background.
