Castle of Villamalur
🇪🇸 Spain
The castle of Villamalur (Province of Castellón, Spain) is a Muslim construction of the 10th–13th centuries located on a steep, high mountain near the town, reached by the track that leads to the Mas district.
Owing to its strategic position, it dominates a large part of the mountain range.
The castle has an irregular polygonal plan. The whole enclosure was encircled by the wall, of which large elements are still preserved.
Several towers also remain standing, as well as a cistern originally covered with a vault, traces of water channels...
A large part of the remains that the visitor can observe are of Christian origin, since the castle of Villamalur was substantially remodelled after the conquest.
