The Castle of Enguera rises on a hill close to the town, a place from which to enjoy beautiful views, accessible hiking routes or a nearby via ferrata of 300 meters, the Via Ferrata Fuente Godalla (on the via ferrata you can park and climb castle).

Different sections of walls can be seen that delimit a double enclosure. The lower one, with an irregular polygonal plan, preserves numerous Islamic remains and forms an antewall at the foot of the main castle. Most of the lower enclosure adapts to the terrain, and you can still see some rectangular towers, which are quite damaged, as well as some previous lower defense, even more damaged. The main enclosure is almost rectangular and is located at the top of the mountain, presenting remains of walls and angular towers, which appear to date from the Christian era, manufactured in lime and stone, highlighting to the south an advanced tower with arrow slits. In this area there is a bastion with two towers. In the center of this high enclosure, there are the remains of a large tower.
