Aielo de Rugat’s Castle Muslim Fortification that has a cistern of water in good condition. The thick walls, still standing, give us an idea of the outbuildings of this castle in which Jaume I was ambushed by the Arab Warlord AlAzraq. From this building you can discover magnificent views of Benicadell, Grossa and Mondúver mountains.
