Castillo y murallas de Oropesa

Oropesa Castle and walls form the historic core above the old town of Oropesa del Mar. Towers and wall stretches of Islamic and Christian origin remain, with views over the beaches and the Prat wetland.

History

The fortress guarded the coast and the northern road. In the early modern period the town moved down to the sea and the castle stayed as viewpoint and memory of defensive Oropesa. The enclosure is walked from outside, among towers and walls, with the sea always in view.

What to see

Walk the upper enclosure and the walls, free and from outside. Pair with the old town and the Paciencia church.

• Walk the walls and look over the Prat and the beaches.
• Walk down through the old town, to the church.
