The Castell d'Ares is also known as the Arab castle of Ares. It is declared a site of cultural interest with the ministerial annotation RI-51-0010118, dated 9 November 1997. The castle stands on the Muela del Castillo, at an altitude of about 1,231 metres, and from that position it controls the pass between the Maestrat and the plateau. The altitude and the situation on the flat-topped hill explain its value as a watch point over the routes that cross the area. The 1997 declaration recognises the heritage interest of the complex with a specific administrative reference. The surviving remains make it possible to identify the place where the Arab fortress stood.
