Steep off road ride up to the castle ruins. Well signed and displays detailing history of castle. Great views. Worth the detour

Magical Castillo!!! And panorama! Free to visit! From the internet: "At the foot of the castle, on the terrain between the top and the cliffs of the Xivert mountain, a Muslim population centre (10th-11th centuries until 1609) could be found. After the conquest of these lands by the Crown of Aragon, this population continues to occupy it by virtue of a surrender treaty that allowed the permanence on their lands and the legal and religious maintenance of the Muslim inhabitants in exchange for recognising certain feudal rights of the Order of the Temple. In 1609 the expulsion of the Moors and the consequent abandonment of the town was decreed"

A challenging drive up to reach this castle which dates from the Knights Templar period unless you have an SUV. Fantastic views of the surrounding countryside from the top once you are there. Not too difficult a walk to reach the castle once parked.

Historically important and worth visiting. Unfortunately, cultural heritage isn't kept well, therefore, it is important to appreciate these places. Hopefully, something will change and efforts will be put into preservation of medieval and even much older times as a reminder of where it all came from.
