Castillo de Monteagudo can be found on the outskirts of Murcia on top of a rocky mountain next to the town. The castle has a long history which dates back to the year 1078; there are documents which state the Emir of the Taifa of Murcia was dethroned and imprisoned at this castle. The structure which visitors will see today are of a modified and rebuilt version which dates back to around the mid-1100s. It’s an interesting site to explore as there is so much of local history in which the castle played an important part. Though visitors will not be allowed inside, it’s a stunning visual of all that has taken place in Murcia over the years.
