Castle of Chio, Medieval castle in Llutxent, Spain

The triangular fortress features double-walled enclosures with corner bastions and preserves an ancient water cistern within its remaining structures.

Built during the 12th century Almohad period, the castle monitored troop movements between the coast and the interior of the Kingdom of Valencia.

The fortress forms part of the Route of the Monasteries of Valencia, connecting visitors to the nearby Corpus Christi Monastery in Llutxent.

The castle remains open throughout the year, with morning visits recommended for better lighting conditions and photography opportunities.

The water cistern, which supplied the castle inhabitants during medieval times, remains as the most visible structure of the original complex.
