In Petrer to the west, there is a hill which nestles a typical Arab castle going back to the 12th century. It was later used as the home for noble families and is now open to the public. There is a chapel where weddings can be celebrated or museum with antique findings, especially pottery pieces from the X-XI c. It is decorated with shields showing that the Moorish and Christian domain were both present.
