The castle wall is preserved in its full length, but the ravages of time have damaged significant sections. Neglect and collapse have buried the outer wall and the remains of internal structures such as granaries and rooms, which are gradually being uncovered through archaeological excavations.

The castle of Montroi is a fortress of Arab origin that is located to the west of the town on a hill in the Alcalans valley. This fortress was part of the defensive structure of this valley together with the castle of Monserrat. There are barely any remains of the wall that surrounded the enclosure. Currently, only the tribute tower remains standing, with a square plan and four heights. Its construction was based on thick brick walls in facades that are reduced to each floor and a central portico resolved with a semicircular arch. This construction system makes up two rooms for each floor, which are accessed by a staircase that in its first section runs next to the central portico and in the second next to the perimeter wall. The vaulted cistern and the grocery store were located in this tower.
