Description

Its name means 'Peak of the Three Kings' and it is located where the borders of the ancient Kingdoms of Aragon, Valencia and Principality of Catalonia meet.

An ancient legend has it that in the days of the Moors and Christians, three monarchs - two infidels and one who feared Christ - used to meet on top of a mountain from which they could see their territories. On the summit, there is a cairn marking the place where these three kings met.
