The town of Alcalà de Xivert has its origin in this castle and its attached Moorish village. Due to frequent Christian incursions, the Muslims had to take refuge in castles like this one.
Discover an impressive fortress, undoubtedly the largest in the entire Sierra de Irta, seat of the bailiff of Alcalà during the Templar and Montesa occupation. But don’t forget to visit the enigmatic Moorish village that surrounds it, a true archaeological curiosity.
Walk through pine forests as you explore, with every step, a shred of history treasured by these rugged lands. Discover the so-called Cross of the French, a reminder of the War of Independence. Find some of the corrals hidden in the Sierra.
Let yourself be carried away by the paths and you’ll only think of returning.
