Castillo Mayor

The hilltop castle on the north side of Daroca is not visible from the town below, but the hike up to it is well worthwhile for the evocatively ruined buildings and city walls, and the town panoramas. Founded as a Muslim fort in the 8th century, the castle underwent numerous battles and rebuildings and was in use until the 19th-century Carlist Wars.
