Sagunto - Castillo

From the Roman theater a road winds its way up the hill, with fine views, to the Castillo de Sagunto, which extends for some 800m/880yd along the summit of the hill. Here there are remains of buildings erected or altered by the Iberians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Moors and the French, who besieged the town in 1811. The extensive circuit of walls, from which there are fine views of the town and the coast, dates mostly from the Arab period and from the French occupation.
