ラフェルグアラフの洞窟・トップ7

Impressive facility and fantastic views

Impressive castle that is located on one of the mountains that is surrounded by torrents and difficult to access. It has also always been called the Mora Queen's castle.

After a steep hike up you come to the lower wall entrance to the outer ring of the Castell. There is still a very steep climb up to the inner castell itself

Xiu Castle is a military defensive construction located in the municipal area of Llutxent. It was built in the twelfth century, during the Almohad period. The castle is nestled within the route of the Route of the Monasteries of Valencia, a monumental route inaugurated in 2008, which crosses this castle to visit the Monastery of Corpus Christi.

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.

It is an Almohad tower from the 13th century that was part of the defense wall of the castle of Xàtiva. Its name is due to its orientation since it is given the first rays of the sun of the day. It consists of a rectangular floor plan with its peculiar semicircular side. It has two floors and an attached cistern.

Double fortress located in the Sierra del Castell, above Xàtiva, due to the strategic location of the city it has been the scene and witness of numerous conflicts. Divided into the Castell Menor and the Castell Major, the former sits on Iberian and Roman remains. The successive cultures that have populated these lands have been expanding and fortifying it. It already had a leading role during Hannibal's campaigns, and in the Al-Andalus period. It was later important, in the times of the Kingdom of Valencia, in the wars against Castile, in those of Germanías and in the Succession, as well as a prison for illustrious convicts.

The visit to the castle is worth it.👍
