Chivert Castle

Description

Chivert Castle (or Xivert Castle) is located along the south-western foothills of the Sierra de Irta. It is of Muslim origin, dating from the late 11th to early 12th centuries, but following the reconquest of the square by Christian forces under the command of the Knights Templar, it underwent subsequent modifications that can still be seen today. For example, the separation of the castle and the town by means of a wall, the imposing stonemasonry walls and twin circular towers.
