The Castle of Fadrell is located in the municipality of Castellón de la Plana. It is a castle of Muslim origin, built between the 11th and 13th centuries.
The castle, with an irregular shape, consisted of four enclosures that adapted to the terrain in a stepped manner. In the upper enclosure is the Alcazaba with three semicircular towers, along with remains of walls and cisterns.
The intermediate enclosure, Albacar, which contains the former, has three more towers and houses the Hermitage of La Magdalena.
Herceg Novi was founded (on a former small fishing village, existing since Roman Empire times) as a fortress in 1382 by first Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. However, there was a short pause between 1538 and 1539 when it was held by the Spaniards before they were defeated in the Siege of Castelnuovo. Turkey ruled again until 1687, from then until 1797, the town was ruled by the Venetian Republic.
The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. Wandering through the small stairways to the various plazas and fortresses is a many hour adventure.
