Castell d'Alèdua, Medieval fortress in Llombai, Spain.

The rectangular tower of Castell d'Alèdua measures 7.3 meters on each side and reaches a height of 16.5 meters above the surrounding terrain.

Built at the end of the 12th century during Islamic rule, the fortress served as a strategic defensive structure on the left bank of the Magre River.

The castle demonstrates the architectural techniques of Islamic builders, sharing similarities with other fortifications like the Mussa Tower in Benifaió and Espioca Tower.

The Llombai City Council purchased the tower in 2020 for 200,000 euros with plans for future restoration of this historical structure.

The castle contains three distinct levels and a basement, constructed using rammed earth techniques over a masonry base in medieval Islamic style.
