This spectacular fortress was built by the Almohad Empire at the end of the 12th century as a refuge for the Muslim population of Villena. The inner wall and the first two floors of the keep, with its imposing vaults—unique among Spanish castles along with the fortress of Biar—date from this period.

Nice circular route of 2 laps around the beautiful Castillo de la Atalaya with continuous ups and downs.
