Luz Castle

Description

At an elevation of 438 meters on the Cresta del Gallo Sierra, Castillo de La Luz is an 9th century construction built by the Moors. The castle was part of Murcia's defense buildings and a check point between the coast and the city. A tank, and parts of a wall and a tower, still stand. It was abandoned in the 13th century after Murcia was merged to the kingdom of Castilia.
