Castillo de Jumilla

The castle stands on a hilltop overlooking the town of Jumilla, featuring three floors, a basement, and a terrace with defensive walls.

Construction of the fortress began in 713 when Muslim forces built upon earlier Roman and Iberian fortifications that dated back to the Bronze Age.

The castle represents the architectural evolution from Islamic to Christian rule, with elements from both periods visible in its stone structures.

Visitors can reach the castle by following a marked path from the town center, with guided tours available throughout the year except during winter.

The castle walls contain fragments of Roman ceramic from the first century, indicating continuous military occupation spanning over two millennia.
