Onda Castle, Medieval castle in Onda, Spain
The fortification spans 25,500 square meters and stands 284 meters above sea level with multiple defensive walls and cylindrical towers.
Muslim forces constructed the initial fortress during the 10th century on Roman settlement remains, later controlled by military orders of Temple, Hospital, and Montesa.
The complex includes a museum displaying Muslim plasterwork from a 13th-century palatial residence discovered within the castle grounds.
Visitors enter through an entrance flanked by two cylindrical towers, leading to the albacara section that served defensive and population protection purposes.
The fortress earned the name 'Castle of 300 Towers' in the 14th century due to its extensive fortification system with numerous defensive structures.
