This castle is one of the best preserved from the period. It is worth climbing the hill of San Blas where it is located and visiting its walls. From here you will have impressive views of the Manchego plain, where you can see kilometers away.

The castle was built during the Muslim era in the 10th century, on the remains of an earlier Roman fortification. During the Middle Ages, the castle was enlarged and reinforced by the Christians, becoming an important fortress that controlled the passage between the Kingdom of Valencia and the Kingdom of Castile. The castle is the scene of many cultural events and festivals throughout the year, such as the Chinchilla Medieval Festival, which takes place in August.
