In the history of cinema, there is a long list of anachronisms—filming errors that result in the impossible mixing of elements from eras separated by hundreds or thousands of years. The clock in *Ben-Hur*, the gas tank in *Gladiator*, or the car driving through the Shire in *The Fellowship of the Ring* are just a few examples of mistakes that become nightmares for directors (and for die-hard fans).
But anachronisms aren’t just the result of mistakes, nor are they exclusive to fiction; they can also occur in the real world—though usually intentionally, to create unique places. Just 45 minutes from Valencia, in Segorbe, we have a perfect example: a water park inspired by a medieval castle.
Segóbriga Park, an outdoor venue that combines a medieval theme with leisure and water fun: slides up to 40 meters long, a hot tub, a waterfall, a children’s area, and various pools in a space designed for both children and adults to enjoy.
One of the best options for escaping the heat and enjoying a family day out with every possible amenity. In addition to the swimming areas, the park has its own restaurant , a spacious picnic area, and even a library, for those who want to take advantage of the day to relax in peace.
Hours, location, and prices for Segóbriga Park
The complex is located at the summit of Mount San Blas, a natural setting at an elevation of about 400 meters, offering beautiful views of the Sierra Calderona. Despite its location, the facility is fully accessible to people with limited mobility and offers free parking.
Another major draw is its prices, which are much lower than those of any other water park. Admission prices vary by age group, ranging from €3.50 for children ages 3 to 12 to €5.50 for adults. Additionally, a single ticket grants all-day access, and children under 2 enter for free.
The site is open daily through August 31, with continuous hours from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you’d like to make the most of your getaway, we recommend visiting Segorbe—one of the most beautiful towns in the Valencian Community—to explore its natural surroundings and historical heritage.
