It was built during the Muslim era, in the 12th century, although it was later expanded and reinforced by the Christians. It had great strategic and military importance throughout its history, as it is located in a high position. During the War of Independence, the castle was used as a headquarters by French troops, and in the Spanish Civil War it was used as a prison.

The castle of Alcaraz is located at the top of the San Cristóbal hill. There are the ruins of the walls, which in their time served as protection in battles.
The views of the city from this point are incredible.
