Castle of Xàtiva, Medieval castle in Xàtiva, Spain
Two connected fortifications, Castillo Menor and Castillo Mayor, stretch along the mountain ridge overlooking the Mediterranean coastal plains of Valencia Province.
The fortress served as a strategic control point along Via Augusta, the Roman road connecting Cadiz to Rome through the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
The castle walls contain architectural elements from multiple periods, including Iberian foundations, Roman structures, Islamic modifications, and Gothic Christian additions.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking a train from Valencia to Xàtiva station, followed by a local bus or taxi to the entrance.
The fortress functioned as a state prison for the Crown of Aragon, holding numerous noble prisoners within its fortified walls during the fifteenth century.
