アルファラシの洞窟・トップ7

The Castell de Carrícola, also known as Castellet, is a historic and natural gem located in the municipality of El Palomar, in the Vall d'Albaida region of Valencia. It is an ancient Islamic fortification built between the 10th and 12th centuries, although the current tower was erected after the Christian conquest, around the mid-13th century. It has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest and has been restored to allow visitors to visit it, including access to its terrace, from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the region and the Bellús reservoir.

The castle, which is not particularly worth seeing, dates back to the Almohad period and was built between the 10th and 12th centuries. But the view is very beautiful.

This point is a great viewpoint. Below is the figure of the castle tower and in the background the valley. The Castillo de Carrícola rises on a rock above the town. A trail leads to the remains of the wall and the high tower through the beautiful ravine of the Castellar.

Impressive facility and fantastic views

Wear suitable footwear, as there are quite steep steps and loose ground.

The views from the castle are spectacular.

Wonderful place worth visiting and exploring. The Castell has a unique value for the entire Valencian Community since it was once one of the strongest and strategic points of the ancient Kingdom of Valencia. Today it offers amazing views of the entire La Costera valley and you cannot miss visiting it from the inside. To get there you will travel part of the Via Augusta, an ancient and well-known route that linked Rome with Cartagena and Cádiz, running along the Mediterranean coast and crossing the Pyrenees.

A very cool and entertaining path along the sunny side with very nice views of the castle and its fortress. It is a very pleasant route with a surface in very good condition.
