Originally built as a Muslim citadel and later taken over by the Templars, it is so robust that there is no evidence that it was ever attacked. A visit is an opportunity to experience a defensive castle, in its most literal sense.

Built on the banks of the Torcón river on top of the hill, the ruins of the Montalbán castle can be seen from several kilometers away. Built on a Muslim fortress and later owned by the Templars, it hides a legend who knows if it is true, it is said that a tunnel connects it with the church and the Melque complex a few kilometers on the other side of the road.
