The Castillo de Agost is located on the highest part of the old town of Agost, in the province of Alicante. It was apparently built during the Muslim period.
Today, the castle has disappeared almost entirely, leaving only a section of its wall as a remnant. Next to it stands the Hermitage of San Pedro, which was originally the chapel of the castle. This chapel was expanded over time using the same stones as the castle.
The last references to the castle date back to the end of the 17th century, when it became the property of the knights of Vallebreras.
