Tiny Tour | Xativa Spain | The 2300-year-old ancient Xàtiva Castle in Valencia 2020 Feb

Xativa Castle (Spanish: Castillo de Xátiva; Valencian: Castell de Xàtiva) is a castle located in the city of Xàtiva near Valencia, Spain. It is strategically located on the ancient roadway Via Augusta leading from Rome across the Pyrenees and down the Mediterranean coast to Cartagena and Cádiz. This fortification has its origins in an Iberian construction that used one of the highest parts of the mountain at this point (Castillo Menor). When conquering it, the Romans later added a second fortress that communicated with the previous one (Castillo Mayor), at the other elevated point that the mountain presented. Both were reformed by the Arabs, who also widened the wall, until it practically coincided with the one currently known. Later, with more or less reforms, these walls and the castle faced the conquest of Jaime I, the rebellion of the Germanías and the war of Succession , but the base of the architectural ensemble was this.
