Castell del Rei, Rock castle in Pollensa, Spain
The castle stands at 492 meters above sea level on a rocky crag in the Sierra de Tramontana, overlooking the valleys of northern Mallorca.
During Roman times, the site served as a fortification, later becoming one of the final Muslim strongholds before falling to King James I of Aragon in 1229.
The castle received official recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site of Spain in November 1993, marking its importance in the region's architectural legacy.
Access to the castle requires a permit to cross the private Ternelles estate, with guided hikes available through local adventure companies.
The castle's location in Valle Ternelles provides views extending across Pollença, Alcudia, and the surrounding Mediterranean bay.
