Castillo de Elda, Medieval fortress in Elda, Spain.
The stone castle spans 2,700 square meters on a hill near the Vinalopó River, featuring ten defensive towers and multiple chambers across its grounds.
The Almohad Empire constructed this fortification between the 12th and 13th centuries, later transforming from an Islamic alcazar into a Christian feudal residence.
The castle exhibits both Moorish and Christian architectural elements, with archaeological findings including ceramics, glass objects, and metal artifacts from different periods.
Guided tours of the castle will begin in late 2024, operating on Sundays and holidays, with advance reservations required for groups of up to 25 people.
A secret passage and an underground cistern remain within the castle structure, along with a cemetery containing over 200 burial sites.
