Castillo de Buñol (11th–12th centuries) in the province of Valencia is a Christian fortress situated in the centre of the town, in its highest part, on two rocky massifs where there had been an earlier Islamic settlement. From this castle the royal road to Madrid was commanded, in the border zone between the kingdoms of Castile and Valencia and the Hoya de Buñol.
