The Castle of Toga (province of Castellón, Spain), located in the lower part of the town, beside the bed of the river Mijares, is a defensive construction of Arab origin.
Its construction and function must be related to the strategic importance of the place, downstream from the narrow pass of the Toga gorge, an imposing defile of the Mijares.
It is of irregular plan and over time it went from being a military and strategic work to becoming a seigneurial castle-palace.
It is currently in a rather precarious state of conservation, although some stretches of the external defensive structure can still be admired.
