Xativa Castle in Xàtiva, Spain, is a historic fortress that sits majestically atop a hill overlooking the town. The castle is actually composed of two connected fortresses, the older "Castillo Menor" and the larger "Castillo Mayor." With origins dating back to the Iberian and Roman periods, the castle has been a strategic military site for centuries. It was expanded and fortified by the Moors and later by the Christians following the Reconquista.
