About Alcala del Jucar

Dramatically perched on a limestone cliff above the Jucar River, this stunning white village seems to defy gravity with its houses built directly into the rock face. A perfect example of how Spanish settlements adapted to challenging terrain, Alcala del Jucar features narrow winding streets, a medieval castle, cave houses, and a Roman bridge, all creating one of Spain's most picturesque settings.

Top Attractions in Alcala del Jucar

Castle

Castillo de Alcalá del Júcar

Crowning the impressive cliff that dominates the village, this 12th-century Almohad fortress offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Júcar River canyon and surrounding landscape. The castle, later expanded by Christians after the Reconquista, played a strategic role in defending the territory due to its position on the frontier between Christian and Muslim lands. Today, visitors can explore its well-preserved walls and enjoy the spectacular vistas that made it such an important defensive position.
