The 12th century castle crowns the mill from where you can get stunning views of the valley and the mountains that surround it.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the War of Castile in the 14th century. At present, you can distinguish, in some of its walls, the arrow slits that were used to shoot with crossbows during the war. Inside what would be the castle, you can find a well-preserved cistern.

At the top of the hill of El Castellet is the castle of Aielo de Rugat. Currently in ruins, only the remains of its façade remain standing.
