Castle (Quesa)

Located to the east of the hermitage of the Cross, the castle of Quesa, 11th century, sits on a rocky and steep enclave, a strategic place from which to control traffic to the interior by going up the course of the Escalona. Of Muslim origin, its construction dates back to the first centuries of the second millennium. The canvasses of the wall that can still be seen can guess what was once the keep and the watchtower, as well as the cistern that presides over the inner courtyard, carved into the rock, and which supplied water to those who sought refuge in the fortress.
