    Tips

    The castle of Benissili is historically known as the castle of Alcalà, and this is how it appears in the documents of the time, but it is better known by the name of the castle of Benissili, since this town is the one that is closest to the fortress .
    The historical function of the castle was to guard and defend the entrance to the Gallinera valley from the interior.
    This castle follows the normal guidelines of the Muslim castle, with albacar (large courtyard) and celoquia (citadel), but it stands out for its great extension, structural complexity and natural defenses.
