Castle of Onda

It is an old castle full of history,stories and wonderful views. You can visit freely and walk around as you wish spending as much time as you like admiring the old walls and the pleasant Spanish landscapes. And there's also colourful pigeons you can see flying around a wonderful little surprise.

I was walking through Onda, and saw this castle on top of the hill. Decided to get there and have a look around.
Didn’t regret it!!! Recommend 100%!
Easy to get there by foot or car. They have car parks on the way to castle.
The entrance is free and the staff is pretty lovely!
They have information boards in Spanish and English as well, which is pretty cool ( for me who I don’t understand Spanish very well).
The view is amazing from the top, you can spend 30-40 minutes, it is relaxing.

Enthusiastic staff, beautiful surroundings. Among the ruins of the castle is a museum with a fascinating interactive video about the history of the town and the castle. I highly recommend it!

Onda Castle, known as the" Castillo de las 300 Torres", literally meaning the Castle with 300 towers!🏰💒🕍🌍🏞🌄🔥🇪🇸👌🌞💥🧚🏾‍♂😇💖

The fortress was built in the 10th century, but it has been discovered that in the 11th century a palace was added to the structure, a real rarity.👌🇪🇸
They've had bedrooms built, baths & pools on the top, medieval herb garden, fully equipped for comfort life, back in 11th century, unreal!!!💖💥
Absolutely phenomenal place inside Spanish mountains but just 25 min drive from the sea!
We've had a picknick at the park that's right after the entrance with tables, benches and breathtaking view to the ancient village and Calvary, hills!🏞💖
Also, we've hit the annual Castillo Onda Bicycle Race lol with millions of cyclists racing and then was a big fiesta at the end!! 🚲 🚲🇪🇸🏰👌💃🎊
About sunset 🌇 we've reached the Calvary de San Catherine and San Francisco de Asissi, uphill stairs and silent nature around, from 14th century, magical energy surrounding and view to the Castle!
"A number of different civilisations inhabited the castle over the centuries. Nowadays, within its walls you can visit Museo de Historia Local, the local history museum, and gaze at a valuable collection of Muslim yesería. You can also see Cueva del Algepsar, another museum that tells the story of what life was like in Onda during the Spanish Civil War."

Really spectacular views of the city and countryside! Great photo op and introduction to the Islamic influence on Spanish history.

Very nice, well kept clean and tidy and easy to walk around with stairs etc!!!

Did not tour but did a Yincana organised by Nucs for Decathlon where this was the starting point. Lovely area!

Very interesting castle beautiful setting. Good facilities and great interpretation of its history, put on specially in English for little me!

Bigger and nice castle!! You can visit different spaces and rooms. The entrance is free. Recommend to get it by walking, by car is a little hard (but possible).

Free entrance with plenty of parking right next to the castle. The castle provides nice views, but there isn't much left inside.

Beautiful exhibition with a very involving audio-visual tour. All for free.

This is a fabulous castle. They've done a lot to make it wheelchair friendly without ruining the place. The site represents the changing uses of the castle over the centuries and there is ongoing archeological research in the Moorish section. At peak times there's a conducted tour. A picnic area has been provided about half way up the ramparts.

Excellent historic monument, well laid out and with very good descriptive information boards around the site.
Brilliant museum with audio - visual history covering the Moors, Romans and subsequent Spanish history. A really good morning's visit.

Amazing historic town visit during the Festival week to experience a true Spanish festival

Fantastic castle, friendly and helpful staff. Old village near the castle nice place to stroll around. Beautiful square with cafe's. Definitely not to be missed!

Excellent views of the old town.

Well worth a visit if in the local area. They also have audio information and signage in English for tourists.

Great views, well cared, and still job on the way.
Nice city center 5 minutes stroll. Worth the visit
