Castillo de Albarracín

The castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the city and valley, forming part of the defensive walls of Albarracín.

The fortress originated in the 10th century when the Banu Razin clan established control of the region after the dissolution of the Caliphate.

Archaeological excavations revealed a large palatial residence with a central courtyard, hammam baths, and private rooms indicating the social status of inhabitants.

The castle offers guided tours departing from the Museum of Albarracín, with duration of 50 minutes and advanced reservations recommended.

The archaeological site contains the most substantial Islamic architectural remains in Albarracín, including elite residences with double-door entrances and private baths.
