Bétera Castle of the Boil, Medieval castle in Bétera, Spain
The stone fortress stands in the center of Bétera, featuring defensive towers and fortified walls that define its military architecture.
Built during the Arab period, the castle was surrendered to King James I in 1237 and subsequently granted to the Order of Calatrava.
The structure represents the transition from Islamic to Christian rule in Valencia, with architectural elements reflecting both influences.
Access to the castle is through Plaza del Castillo, with ongoing restoration works funded by the European Union since 2019.
The castle changed ownership to the Boil family in 1386, who received perpetual jurisdiction rights while maintaining connections to the Order.
