Sax Castle

Sax, Spain

Sax Castle has Moorish origins (10th–12th century). It was conquered by the Crown of Aragon in 1239 and subsequently ceded to the Crown of Castile under the terms of the Treaty of Almizra. From its position, it dominates the whole city. The keep, whose foundations are laid over a cave, and the bastion tower are the elements that have survived to the present day.

Beautiful place. We got there just as the tour was ending and the amazing guide opened up just for us and showed us around. Lots of information and great architecture.

Even though the castle was closed. Apparently tours are on a Sunday?. This is a lovely little town to visit and there some lovely views and walks.

Love that you smcan see it from anywhere you are in Sax, we used it for directions throughout the month we visited. Beautiful castle. Shame its only open to public for a few hours on a Sunday but wether it's open or not its 100% worth a visit

Jacques Cartier Manor House

The Jacques Cartier Manor House is the only existing property wich belonged to Cartier, the discoverer of Canada, in 1534. It’s a rare example of a great 16th century explorer’s home. Jacques Cartier opened up the North American continent to the French via the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The manor house has been restored and furnished to illustrate both the everyday life and the travels of its famous owner. From the kitchen with its red clay floor, to the explorer’s bedroom, this museum has lost none of its period charm.
