Chera Castle

The castle of Chera is a fortress of Muslim origin located in the province of Valencia, which is located on a hill located one kilometre from the town, from which the surrounding fertile plain, the Tormagal gorge and the road from Requena to Chulilla were dominated. The date when it was built is unknown, although considering the presence of a barbican, a construction element introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Almoravids, it can be dated to the early 12th century.
