After the Reconquista, many castles in the region were modified or rebuilt to adapt to Christian styles and needs.

The Castro Castle, an Arab fortress with an impressive watchtower at a height of about 780 m, was a fundamental bastion of the Moorish resistance at the time of their expulsion. It was taken by the Duke of Segorbe and General Cavanilles after the Castillo de Aín had also fallen. It was also used in the Carlist Wars. The castle covers an area of about 2,000 m2, where two parts can be distinguished: the "Albacar", a fortified refuge for the inhabitants of the towns dependent on the fortress; and on the other side, the castle itself, which presided surrounded by a large keep that was demolished in 1938 during the Civil War. The views are impressively beautiful.

It was an amazing experience in the mercury mines! These areas are little known and very easy to explore. However, it is important to be careful, since there are ventilation chimneys that represent a danger. I would recommend starting with the lower chimneys, specifically the ones on the left, and taking your time as you walk. Unfortunately, I couldn't go downstairs because I was alone, but I promise to come back with someone so I can do it. It was an awesome experience and for now the chimneys are not closed yet, but they probably will be soon. It is essential to carry a headlamp, a flashlight and a tracking device to guarantee our safety. Let's not expose ourselves to unnecessary risks.
