Castillo de Castalla

Monuments

Visitors to Castell de Castalla will discover one of the main and best preserved fortifications in the province of Alicante; which in turn is part of the Patrimonial Ensemble of Castell de Castalla. The castle, declared BIC with the category of Monument, has three parts that allow to know the evolution of the fortification (erected in the 11th century by the Muslims and deeply reformed in the 14th and 15th centuries by the Christians); as well as who were the first settlers of the hill on which today the castle is based (occupied since the 2nd millennium BC). These parts are: the Palau, which is accessed through an intricate defensive system; the Pati d'Armes with its wall paintings, rooms and the cistern in very good original condition; and Torre Grossa, from which you can contemplate spectacular views of the Foia de Castalla and the mountains that surround it.
