Castillo de Cox
Cox, Alicante, Spain, Spain
Castillo de Cox, also known as Castillo de Ayala, is an early 12th-century Muslim fortress crowning a rocky spur above the village of Cox in Alicante province, Valencian Community, Spain.
Built during Almohad rule to protect rural settlements and fertile Vega Baja del Segura lands from invasions, the structure later transitioned under Christian control, evolving into a noble residence associated with the Duke of Ayala amid Reconquista conflicts.
Accessible via a steep scenic path with panoramic valley views, the restored ruins represent one of Spain's oldest surviving castles, blending Islamic defensive architecture and local heritage significance.
