Castle of Turís, Medieval castle in Turís, Spain.

The Castle of Turís features defensive walls, a central tower with three floors, and an external enclosure covering an area of 3000 square meters.

Built in the 11th century as an Islamic fortress, the castle underwent modifications during the 13th century under Almohad rule before becoming a Christian lordship in 1238.

The structure holds the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural, representing the architectural evolution from Islamic to Christian military construction methods in Valencia.

Located on a hill southwest of Turís municipality, the castle remains can be reached by following marked paths from the town center.
