El Portal de Xodos

Monument · Xodos, L'Alcalatén, Castellón

Image of Xodos, not of the place itself.

El Portal de Xodos is a tower built into the village's old wall, which Ximén d'Urrea had fortified on the rock after granting it a founding charter in 1254. The settlement came to be completely walled, but of that defensive enclosure only this tower survives, the keep, which stands today as the main vestige of Xodos's medieval fortifications.
