A huge archaeological site of about 5 hectares, also known as "El Castillo". One of the most spectacular pre-Roman fortifications on the Iberian Peninsula. The walls that surround it are preserved in good condition. It is probably from the 5th century B.C.

A wonder of nature in an environment that does not have large rocks and this wonder appears from the bowels of the earth. You cannot climb to the top but the views from the base are fantastic.

The castro of Yecla la Vieja, also known as "El Castillo", is located a couple of kilometers south of the town of Yecla and constitutes one of the most spectacular pre-Roman fortifications on the Iberian Peninsula. It is a long-occupied town, perhaps originally called Virlanga.

Archaeological site where the ruins of El Castro Castle are found, whose wall is the only remaining vestige and surrounds an area of approximately 5 hectares. Within the property is also the Hermitage of the Virgen del Castillo and tour the place through the various paths to see other remains and some stone engravings of animals and human figures. It is estimated that the construction dates from the Iron Age.
