Perched on a hilltop in Alicante, Spain, Sax Castle, built in the 10th century, exhibits Andalusian architecture, possibly with Almohad influences. This fortress offers a remarkable display of Moorish architecture and defensive strategies inherited from the Islamic occupation. Its strategic commanding position overlooking the town of Sax offers a controlling view of the surrounding landscape. Sax Castle, a cultural heritage monument and now municipal property since 1980, serves as an essential fortress in securing key routes and strategic positions.
