It has a population of 1590 inhabitants (INE 2006).
Jerica is near the limit of the natural park of Sierra de Espadan.
At a distance of about 70 kilometers northwest of Valencia.
Currently are conserved medieval streets shaped, with old houses.
The Bell Tower built in Mudejar stile were built in 1634.
The castle was destroyed in the Carlist Wars, but still you can see the Roman foundations, although most of the construction are from the Muslim. period The best preserved area is the Tower of Mayot. "The Turret" of a sturdy looking, square plan with walls over 1.5 meters thick, highlight the semicircular vaults of the ground floor.
The Towers of Ordaces and La Muela, Muslim towers were part of the castle lookout system, currently in very poor condition.
Jerica is a small village but highly charming, in that if you have a car (otherwise it is quite difficult to arrive) it is worth to visit it, making route with other towns or cities on the way which i will talk in other posts.
