We decided to take a walk up the hill to the Castell de Denia.

The road was on a slight slope but the walk was fairly easy and enjoyable.

We reached the top of the road where the entrance of the castle is located.

The archway to the entrance is in a traditional Islamic period. It was built between the 11th and 12th century. The archway was covered for approximately 20 feet with a stone walkway.

The castle also functions as an archaeological museum. We went into the museum section at a cost of 3 euros each. The museum had several interesting displays of Roman artifacts.

The castle had a spiral staircase to the top of a tower with a lookout over the entire area.

The view from the tower lookout was beautiful. We could see the entire region and coastline.

After touring the tower we walked through the castle working our way to another elevated area.

We reached a doorway which opened up into another area of the castle. We walked through and came to a flat area which contained a large courtyard and lookout.

In the courtyard there were several cannons located at strategically  points.

The views from there were spectacular, with almost a complete 360 degree vista. We walked around the castle admiring the views.

The tour of the Castle of Denia was well worth the visit. We enjoyed walking through the castle and looking at the great views from the castle walls.
