Old medieval fortress used to defend the border between the kingdoms of Murcia and Granada in Lorca

It is an old medieval fortress whose construction runs from the eleventh to the thirteenth century. Used to defend the border between the kingdoms of Murcia and Granada until the 16th century, it was again used as a refuge during the War of Independence (1808-1814). Today it houses an exhibition recreating the Middle Ages. You can visit the towers (Espolón, Alfonsina), the cisterns and the archaeological remains of a 15th century synagogue. From the walls, you will have an impressive view of the city and the valley.

Forteresse imposante ; environ 3 heures de visite dont la moitié en visite guidée (uniquement en espagnol) ; site très intéressant ; vue magnifique ; reconstitution de la vieille synagogue bien faite . Hélas, pas de livres en français à la boutique . Ne surtout pas s'aventurer en voiture dans les ruelles très étroites sous le château.
