"Papa Luna" is Pedro de Luna, a powerful Catholic cardinal who ruled as antipope at Avignon, France, from 1394 to 1417, when there were competing popes at Avignon and Rome. His castle is built on a walled promontory extending from the village of Peñíscola; the lighthouse stands below the castle shining its light over the wall.
