El Puig, known in the Middle Ages as Cebolla, was an important military post for the Castilian knight El Cid at the end of the 11th century. Here he gathered his troops and coordinated the attacks and raids surrounding the historic Battle of Valencia, which he then conquered from the Moors. Even today, some remains of the fort that was built on the mountain during Arab rule are worth visiting.

A site with great historical value given its importance during the wars with the Moors. From here El Cid defended himself in the Valencia war where the Moors were dethroned. There are still some ruins of the old fortification worth visiting.
