The castle is located on the highest hill of the city, in a strategic point. Of Muslim origin, it was built during the 15th century and only the Torre del Homenaje remains standing of the original building.

The castle stands on a promontory overlooking the town and is built on a large rock. Today only the keep remains, which is part of the original Muslim fortress, built in ashlar and mortar, until it was replaced by the current one in 1423 (source: castillosdelolvido.com/castillo-de-requena /).
