The Castle is located on the promontory that dominates the city, and is built on a large rock. Currently, only its Torre de l'Homenatge survives, which is part of the original Muslim fortress, which was built in ashlar stone, and built with mortar until it was replaced by the current one in 1423. The castle is 'it was in the middle of two large towers, with battlements and embankments. It had a drawbridge over an already blinded moat.

It served a variety of uses, from a knight's residence to a prison. The tower is currently restored and its interior is diaphanous, and digital explanations can be seen.

Requena was considered a "frontier square" between the Muslim kingdom of Valencia and the kingdom of Castile, from almost the end of the twelfth century. It is for this reason that its defenses were reinforced in the aforementioned century.
