Castell de Moixent

Spain, Spain

---

Castell de Moixent is a medieval fortress crowning a hill above the town of Moixent (Mogente) in Valencia province, Spain, constructed during the Islamic period before its conquest by the Crown of Aragon in 1244.

Featuring robust defensive walls and towers typical of Moorish military architecture, it served as a strategic stronghold controlling regional routes during the Reconquista, later adapted for Christian use amid layered Iberian and Roman influences in the area. 

Now in ruins as a Bien de Interés Cultural, the site offers panoramic views and preserves traces of its turbulent history near notable prehistoric sites like the Bastida de les Alcusses.
