Image of Orxeta, not of the place itself.

Muslim fortress known as the Castellet del Moro, located on Mount El Castellet about two kilometers from Orxeta, of which the base of the keep and remains of the wall are preserved. Conquered by the troops of Jaime I, it was granted in 1270 to Berenguela Alfonso and later passed to the Order of Santiago, which held it until the 19th century.
