Castell-Palau dels Urrea

Castell-Palau dels Urrea in Lucena del Cid, Castellón province, Valencian Community, Spain, originated as an Arab fortress from the Islamic period, later transformed into a noble residence by the Urrea barons and subsequent dukes of Híjar.
This hybrid castle-palace blends defensive military architecture with residential Gothic-Mudéjar features, including sturdy walls, towers, and adapted interiors reflecting its shift from frontier stronghold to seigneurial seat after the Christian Reconquista.
Perched amid the scenic Maestrazgo highlands, the well-preserved structure stands as a key historic monument showcasing layered medieval heritage in a rural village setting.
