Castle of Xio
Spain, Spain
Castle of Xio is a well-preserved 12th-century Almohad fortress located in the rural municipality of Llutxent near Valencia, Spain, characterized by its unique triangular shape, double enclosure walls, and reinforced corner towers designed for defense in the Valencian countryside.
Originally serving as a cattle fold and water storage site with an excavated cistern, it was conquered by Christians in 1244 and later provided shelter for settlers while linking to local legends like the "Milagro de los Corporales" amid the sacred Monte Santo landscape.
Recognized as one of the best-preserved Islamic fortifications from that era in central Valencia, its free exterior access highlights enduring rural military architecture.
