Castillo de Xàtiva (Xàtiva Castle)
A double fortress stretching over almost 1 kilometre in the Sierra del Castell overlooking Xàtiva. The city’s strategic location has made it both a setting and a witness in numerous conflicts. The castle is divided into Castell Menor and Castell Major, with the latter built on the site of Iberian and Roman remains. It was extended and fortified by the succession of cultures that settled in this area. It was already famous during Hannibal's campaigns, and in the period of Al-Andalus.
