Alcalà de Xivert ((スペイン語:Alcalá de Chivert)) is a town and municipality in the Baix Maestrat comarca, province of Castelló, Valencian Community, Spain. The main town is located inland in a flat valley between the two mountain ranges of Serra d'Irta and Serra de les Talaies. There is no river in the valley; instead the water emerges in natural ponds known as ''basses''.〔(Paco González Ramírez - El País Valencià, poble a poble, comarca a comarca )〕 The landmark of the town is the ''Esglèsia de Sant Joan Baptista'' (Church of Saint John the Baptist), built in 1736–1766, with a large dome, a noteworthy Baroque portal, and a 68-metre-high tower, which is visible from many miles away. ==History== Its castle occupied a strong position for the control of the routes along the Mediterranean coast. Here stood a Moorish castle (the name of the town derives from Arabic ''al-qalat'' = "the castle") that was captured by James I of Aragon in 1234, who also resettled the place with Christian villagers. In contemporary times the economy of the town is devoted mainly to tourism, with several beaches and a busy marina at the villages located on the coast, Alcossebre, Capicorb and Les Fonts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alcalà de Xivert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
