In this place, located about 7 km from the town of Moratalla and on the slopes of Pico de los Frailes, it is said that the "appearance" of Jesus Christ took place in 1493.

Castle of Moratalla

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Moratalla is built on a hill where there were settlements since the Neolithic. It was the Muslims in the 9th century who built the complex that is seen today. Later, in the 15th century, the Homage Tower was built. Along with the other five towers, this castle was a key point in the defense of Al-Andalus.
