Castle from the Almohad period, devoid of walls or decoration and built on an octagonal plan on a high rock to the south of the town, on a hill that is difficult to access. This castle does not have a keep, nor does it have cubes or external defenses, perhaps as a result of its reconstruction during the Christian era, which only maintained the wall, ignoring any other defensive element beyond the rugged terrain on which it stands.

Situated in a defensive Sierra Chamorro at 745 masl, the 15th century Castillo de Herrera del Duque dominates the town below. Incredible views especially near sunset.
