Castell de Fadrell, Medieval castle in Castelló de la Plana, Spain
The castle features defensive walls, towers, and three distinct sections: the upper Alcazaba, middle Albacara, and lower area atop Magdalena hill.
Built in the 10th century during Islamic rule, the castle served as a strategic watchtower before becoming a tributary to El Cid in the 12th century.
The Interpretation Center within the castle complex presents archaeological findings and exhibits about the fortress's role in regional development.
Free guided tours of the castle grounds and Interpretation Center are available year-round through advance reservations with the City Museum of Castelló.
The castle's rammed earth and masonry construction techniques demonstrate Islamic architectural methods preserved from its original construction period.
