Castell de Maús, Medieval castle in Suera, Spain

The stone fortification stands at 582 meters elevation on Suera Alta hill, featuring remaining sections of defensive walls and a central tower base.

Constructed during the 12th century under Islamic rule, the fortress provided protection for four Muslim settlements that later merged into present-day Sueras.

The castle incorporates both Islamic and Christian architectural elements, reflecting the territorial transitions between different medieval societies in eastern Spain.

Visitors can access the castle through the Ayódar road from Suera's center, taking the left path before the river crossing at town exit.

The castle remains display substantial wall sections against the Sierra de Espadán mountains, marking its position as a strategic observation point.
