Castell de Perputxent, Medieval castle ruin in Lorcha, Spain
The castle remains include a 20-meter-high main tower with three habitable levels, built directly on the hillside rock formation.
The fortress changed ownership multiple times, including a notable transfer to the Order of Montesa in 1319 after two years of royal administration.
The structure exemplifies the transition from Islamic to Christian military architecture, with modifications reflecting medieval feudal castle designs.
Visitors can access the castle grounds near the urban center of Lorcha, offering views of the Serpis River and surrounding agricultural valley.
The defensive structure features a polygonal wall and a masonry-built advance wall positioned at strategic points along the hilltop location.
