Castle of Alfàndec, Military fortress in Benifairó de la Valldigna, Spain
The castle complex features two walled enclosures with remains of dwellings built in rammed earth located within the first perimeter.
Built during Islamic rule, the fortress served as a protective center and tax collection point for the inhabitants of Alfàndec Valley.
The fortress contains a 14th-century Gothic chapel with stone ribbed vaults, demonstrating the architectural transition after Christian conquest.
Recent path restoration efforts have made the castle accessible to visitors, offering a direct route to explore the medieval structure.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed Roman coins and a small collection of coins from King James II's period.
