Crussol Castle is an 11th century medieval fortress now in ruins. It stands 200 meters above the city of Valencia. The castle's demise is partly due to a mining explosion in a quarry beneath the castle, lightning in the 1950s and a major landslide in 2014.

From its rocky outcrop it stands majestically like a sentinel over the Rhone Valley.
