Castle of Tárbena

Monument · Tàrbena, La Marina Baixa, Alicante

Castle of Muslim origin with Christian alterations, situated on the Cerro Segué de Tàrbena at 700 metres above sea level, dominating the valley and the pass towards Parcent through the Coll de Rates. Most of the surviving elements correspond to the Christian alterations carried out after the conquest. Its strategic position kept it active during episodes such as the revolt of al-Azraq, between 1248 and 1258, and the uprising of Ibrahim, in 1276-1277.
