Castillo de Moya is a 13th-century medieval fortress perched dramatically atop a plateau hilltop overlooking the surrounding valley in Cuenca province. The villa of Moya held exceptional strategic importance during the Middle Ages as an advanced frontier fortress of Castile bordering Aragon and Valencia. In 1475, the Catholic Monarchs granted the castle to Don Andrés Cabrera, first marquis of Moya, elevating its status as capital of a powerful marquisate controlling 36 towns across an extensive territory. The castle retains portions of its original walls, roof, keep tower, multiple towers, access gates, and remnants of an adjacent church portico and belfry, constituting a significant medieval archaeological complex.
