The Islamic Castle of Sumacàrcer

Situated atop a large promontory in the municipality of Sumacàrcer, in the comarca of la Ribera Alta, province of Valencia, you'll find the Castle of Penya-roja, also known as the Castle of Sumacàrcer. Built with rubble and masonry over a primitive population center, it takes advantage of the local topography to feature two separate complexes to the northwest and southeast, of which only some remains of walls and bases of some towers currently remain.

This is an Islamic castle with origins prior to the 11th century, which was abandoned in the 13th century after the population moved to the side of the Xúquer river, although it did have permission to be rebuilt in the 14th century.

Today, the monument is declared in the registers of Bien de Interés Cultural of the Valencian and Spanish heritage with the code R-I-51-0010688.
