Fancy taking a walk to an old castle sitting atop a hill? Make your way to Enguera.

Castillo de Enguera, Enguera Castle, makes a great destination for your hike. On your walk to the castle, which is located not far from the municipality, you will make your way through the outskirts of Enguera, which are full of places that you will enjoy exploring.

Defence was the castle’s raison d’être. The earliest parts of the fortress have been dated back to the 9th century while the latest remains were from the 18th: the castle certainly had a very long lifetime.

Listed a Site of Cultural Interest, Enguera Castle – also known as Encomienda de Enguera Castle - was part of an extensive network of defence infrastructure, which provided surveillance over the surrounding terrain. It belonged to the Order of Santiago, and around it are located the ruins of an Iberian settlement. Your walk will be a journey back in time.

After your hike, we recommend visiting interesting sights like the Archaeological Museum and the Ethnological Museum as well as taking a stroll through the centre to gaze at the manor houses. Start planning your visit today and get ready to visit a monument that has centuries of history between its walls.
