Above Corbera, the castle is an 11th-century Muslim fortress raised over Roman remains. From its promontory it watches the Ribera Baixa plain all the way to the coast, which earned it the name of crow's nest.
History
The fortress guarded the plain and the routes toward the sea from the Islamic period onward. Today it stands as a ruined hilltop site reached on foot.
