Different sections of walls can be seen that delimit a double enclosure. The lower one, with an irregular polygonal plan, preserves numerous Islamic remains and forms an antewall at the foot of the main castle. Most of the lower enclosure adapts to the terrain, and you can still see some rectangular towers, which are quite damaged, as well as some previous lower defense, even more damaged. The main enclosure is almost rectangular and is located at the top of the mountain, presenting remains of walls and angular towers, which appear to date from the Christian era, manufactured in lime and stone, highlighting to the south an advanced tower with arrow slits. In this area there is a bastion with two towers. In the center of this high enclosure, there are the remains of a large tower.

The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.
