Millares Castle
About the place
Millares Castle sits on a narrow rocky ridge, where its walls follow the contours of the cliff, merging with the natural stone. The internal courtyards, once shelters for inhabitants, are now open to the elements, offering panoramic views of winding canyons and the river below. Its strategic position controlled passage through the valley for centuries, forming part of a defensive network alongside the Upper Castle. The fortress’s design, known as "El Castillet," demonstrates careful planning to observe and defend the surrounding area. Visitors reach the ruins via an ancient trail that winds through rocky terraces rich with unique flora, making the approach part of the experience.
