The castle of Polop stands on a hill from which it dominates the town of the same name, province of Alicante, in the area known as the Old Cemetery. It can be accessed by a path that leaves the town.

Of Islamic origin, Polop was conquered by the troops of Jaime I, and was the scene of several bloody actions during the Al-Azraq revolts. In 1271 the monarch ceded the town to the knight Beltrán de Belpuig.

During the Germanías, a new Moorish rebellion had its center in the Castle of Polop, where the rebels became strong until they were defeated by deceit and practically massacred.

The castle is of Muslim origin, it was and was built at the beginning of the 12th century. It was an important fortress, with an important strategic value in the region, but due to the conflicts in which it was the protagonist, the buildings inside were demolished, also taking advantage of its materials for the construction of the neighboring hermitage.
