Castillo del Real
Spain, Spain
Castillo del Real, located in Olocau, Valencia, Spain, is an 11th-century Islamic fortress known historically as Hisn al Uqab and referenced in the epic Cantar del Mio Cid as a key stronghold.
Originally built to control mountain passes and serve as a power center during Muslim rule, it features typical defensive architecture with walls and towers adapted after the Christian Reconquista under Jaime I. Perched amid rugged terrain, the ruins today offer a glimpse into medieval frontier defenses and attract hikers exploring the Sierra Calderona Natural Park.
