Castell de Bolbaite
Castle of Bolbaite, a sixteenth-century castle-palace raised by the marquises de la Casta over an Islamic fortress. It served at once as a seigneurial residence and as a symbol of the power of the lordship, and the historic quarter of the Rabalet, with its narrow cobbled streets, is still organised around the fortress today.
The castle is a sixteenth-century castle-palace that the marquises de la Casta raised over an Islamic fortress. It served at once as a seigneurial residence and as a symbol of the power of the lordship, so the dwelling and the representation of dominion came together in a single building. The historic quarter of the Rabalet, with its narrow cobbled streets, is still organised around the fortress today. That urban layout makes it possible to see how the castle ordered the growth of the core and how its presence still defines the layout of the quarter within the town.
