The castle was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, along with the surrounding walls. It served as protection for the city after it was reconquered by Alfonso II of the Kingdom of Valencia. Originally of Muslim origin, he was associated with the Fernández de Heredia family, who began a dynasty of lords in Mora that lasted more than four and a half centuries.
If you want to visit it, don't wait any longer! Walk through its rooms and immerse yourself in the history of this monumental town. 😊

Medieval fortress in the upper part of the town, it has a quadrangular plan with mentions from the s. XII. However, the castle has undergone modifications in the Gothic style, which are the ones that predominate. It is interesting to note that the four defensive towers differ from each other. It was a space used in Arab times, being modified in the time of Alfonso II the Chaste. Among its spaces, the Gothic-style interior patio of the s stands out. XIII, has a museum with objects from different periods.
