FORTALEZA DEL SOL
Old medieval fortress used to defend the border between the kingdoms of Murcia and Granada in Lorca
It is an old medieval fortress whose construction runs from the eleventh to the thirteenth century. Used to defend the border between the kingdoms of Murcia and Granada until the 16th century, it was again used as a refuge during the War of Independence (1808-1814). Today it houses an exhibition recreating the Middle Ages. You can visit the towers (Espolón, Alfonsina), the cisterns and the archaeological remains of a 15th century synagogue. From the walls, you will have an impressive view of the city and the valley.
