Castillo de Marinyen
Spain, Spain
Castillo de Marinyen, also known as the Castle of the Moorish Queen or Castell d'Alfàndec, is an 11th-century Muslim fortress located in Benifairó de la Valldigna near Valencia, Spain.
Featuring double walled enclosures adapted to steep terrain, a Gothic chapel with ribbed vaulting from 14th-century Cistercian reforms, and ashlar cisterns, it originally sheltered local farm inhabitants before serving monks during the 1364 Castile-Aragon conflict.
Protected as a cultural heritage site, the dramatic ruins on a 240-meter crag offer hiking access amid Valldigna valley views, tied to legends of a queen's desperate leap.
