One of the best restored and preserved castles in the Valencian Community. It is an Islamic fortification dating from the 10th-11th centuries. Located at the top of the Xivert mountain, today within the perimeter of the Parc Natural de la Serra d'Irta, the castle offers impressive views. There are also indications of the former existence of a Bronze Age settlement prior to the Muslim occupation that used it for defense and surveillance. Later the Templars added various architectural elements such as two large circular towers, a church and a cistern. Over time, the castle went through several Orders and lost importance, which led to its deterioration until it was decided to preserve it and later restore it during the present century.
