    Polop Castle, perched atop a hill overlooking the old town of Polop de la Marina (Alicante), is a fortress of Muslim origin with over 800 years of history. Although now in ruins, it remains a site of significant heritage and cultural value.
    Islamic Origins: Built in the early 12th century by the Muslims of the Emirate of Denia, it served a defensive and strategic purpose over the Marina Baixa region.
    Decline: Its abandonment began in the 18th century. Some of its materials were reused to build the chapel and cemetery that now occupy the site.
