The Castle of Aixa, also known as Castell de la Solana, consists of the remains of an ancient castle in the mountains of Castellet de Aixa. Located in the highest part of Beniquesi, in the municipal district of Alcalalí, Spain, the site sits 600 meters above sea level between Llosa de Camacho and Jalón.
The ruins cover the entire Pop Valley, though only some remains of the base and walls can still be seen. Despite being in a state of decay, the site retains its historical identity as an ancient castle.
The most prominent surviving feature of the structure is a rectangular tower measuring 12 by 4 meters. This tower contains three shallow pools and a fountain, standing as a notable piece of the archaeological landscape in the mountains of Spain.
