About
Sagunto Castle (Castillo de Sagunto) sits proudly atop a limestone hill overlooking the historic city of Sagunto in Spain’s Valencian Community. The fortress, whose walls date back to Iberian, Roman, and Moorish times, was rebuilt during the Peninsular War (1810‑1811) and today offers visitors a vivid glimpse into the region’s layered military history. From the castle’s ramparts, guests are rewarded with sweeping views of the town, the Roman theatre to the north, and the Mediterranean coast beyond. Whether you’re a history buff, architecture lover or simply in search of a scenic day out, the hilltop site is a must-visit destination in eastern Spain.
