In Villena you can admire one of the best-preserved castles in the region. Everything shows unmistakable Arab influence.

The river originates in the north in the Serra de Mariola and flows south through towns such as Villena, Elda, and Petrer. Its water level fluctuates considerably depending on the season. Despite often low water levels, the river has historically been important for agriculture, settlement, and irrigation.

Church of Santa María (Villena) This church was built in the 16th century on the site of the former main Muslim mosque of Villena, at which time it became the church of El Rabal, the suburb outside the medieval walls of Villena.

Built by the Almohads in the 12th century on San Cristóbal Hill as a defensive fortress on the border between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. The inner wall and the two lower floors of the keep date from the Almohad period, featuring vaults unique in Spain, along with those of Biar Castle. In the 15th century, the two upper floors and the outer wall with twelve turrets were added. Conquered by James I in 1240. Residence of Don Juan Manuel (author of El Conde Lucanor). It participated in conflicts such as the War of the Spanish Succession, the Revolt of the Brotherhoods, and the Peninsular War. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931 and a Site of Cultural Interest.

This spectacular fortress was built by the Almohad Empire at the end of the 12th century as a refuge for the Muslim population of Villena. The inner wall and the first two floors of the keep, with its imposing vaults—unique among Spanish castles along with the fortress of Biar—date from this period.
