Well-preserved medieval fortress with views over Villena & surrounding hills, offering guided tours.

👍 Lots of history here. But the fortress is pretty much in ruins. It's definitely worth the visit while visiting the nearby cathedral. While the cathedral and adjacent restaurant are easy to access, the castle requires walking on uneven and sometimes loose surfaces.

Hilltop fortress with a history spanning Roman, Islamic & Christian periods, with panoramic views.

Restored hilltop castle built in the 10th century with scenic water views, tours & a museum.

👍👍 Fabulous walk and wonderful views!

Tours are offered of this sizable, well-preserved castle built in the 14th century.

👍👍 Motorcycle ride to the top was very good fun and lovely views! Sad to see what a telephone company has done to such an impressive castle though.

😐 This is an interesting walk. Although it is quite steep all the way, the path is excellent once you have managed to navigate all the dog mess near the beginning. The views of Cartagena are really splendid, looking over the port the naval base and the whole city. The castle built in the late 1700s ha...

👍👍 Worth a visit , very cheap entrance fee , quite small but interesting , with fantastic views

👍 Not too steep and not too high. a perfect climb for beginners. The path is in pretty good condition too. There’s a few signs saying “no entry” and that it’s owned by the military but no need to panic the area is safe and free to enter. The castle itself is closed off to the public but the views from...

What a beautiful church ⛪ cemetery and what absolutely stunning views from the top. The added bonus is the restaurant/cafe within 50 me...

👍👍 We leave the car in the San Cristóbal parking lot and it's a good run. But you can drive the car a little higher even though the road is very narrow. In any case, you have to climb a dizzying path on foot to reach the base of the Castell. A very well preserved watchtower. The views are spectacular...

👍👍 Im ready to move here and buy a five acre lot and float in my Infinity pool with some Vino! Paradise. But don't tell anyone. Shhhh.
