Castillo de Cocentaina / Cocentaina Castle
The Gothic watchtower overlooking the town was built between the late 13th and early 14th centuries atop possible earlier Iberian and Moorish remains; it has been restored. It is generally closed, but the Ajuntament (ayuntamiento / town hall) will lend out keys on request (ID required). There are two possible access routes: one from the south via a steep footpath which starts near the train station, and the other via car from the north, with the last 200 m by foot.
