About 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.
