Castell d'Almenara, Medieval castle on hilltop in Almenara, Spain.

The fortress stands at 175 meters above sea level with two prominent towers, L'Agüelet and L'Agüeleta, overlooking the surrounding landscapes of Valencia region.

Built by Moors in the 10th century upon Roman ruins, the castle spans 120 meters along the hillside and contained three main sections including an area with a mosque.

The castle received designation as Bien de Interés Cultural in 1985, establishing its role as an essential monument of Spanish architectural heritage.

Visitors can access the castle through a 4-kilometer circular trail starting at the intersection of Calle Castellón and Calle Moncofa, requiring approximately two hours to complete.

The L'Agüeleta tower, reconstructed in the 19th century, served as a heliograph communication point connected to the Sagunto railway system.
