Castell de Les Atzavares
Spain, Spain
Castell de Les Atzavares, also known as the Castle of La Plana or Castle of the Adzaharas, is an 11th-century Muslim fortification located at approximately 350 meters elevation in La Vall de Laguar, Alicante province, Valencian Community, Spain.
This ancient stronghold controlled the strategic valley entrance and exit from the Barranco del Infierno, serving as a key defensive point in the rugged Marina Alta interior during the Taifa period.
Though now in ruins amid dramatic mountain terrain, its remnants highlight early Islamic military architecture alongside nearby watchtowers like La Casota, accessible via hiking trails popular with explorers of the region's medieval heritage.
