Castillo de Chirel, Medieval fortress in Cortes de Pallás, Spain.
The castle features a triangular layout with double walls and two towers, positioned on a rocky elevation called Muela del Cinto del Castillo.
Built during Islamic rule, the castle gained strategic importance during the Al-Azraq rebellion and underwent modifications following Christian conquest in the medieval period.
The castle combines Islamic and Gothic architectural elements, reflecting the successive cultural influences that shaped the region of Valencia.
The fortress requires a 4.3-kilometer round trip hike through pine forests and wooden steps, with steep sections demanding proper footwear and water supplies.
The castle provides direct views of the Júcar River gorges, presenting military architectural features such as arrow slits and defensive walls adapted to the terrain.
