Polpís Castle, Medieval castle in Santa Magdalena de Polpís, Spain
The fortress spans 2,200 square meters on a mountain peak at 343 meters elevation, featuring a main tower and irregular defensive walls.
The castle transferred from Muslim control to Christian ownership in 1233 when James I of Aragon conquered it alongside Peñíscola.
The structure displays architectural elements from both Islamic and Christian periods, with original Muslim walls and later Templar Knight modifications.
Visitors can reach the castle through a marked path from Santa Magdalena de Polpís, located 2 kilometers from the fortress.
The castle maintains its original defensive entrance system with two walls forcing an angled approach toward the main tower.
