Castell d'Alaró, also known as Alaró Castle, is a historic fortress located in the municipality of Alaró on the island of Mallorca, Spain. It sits atop a rocky hill in the Tramuntana mountain range, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The castle has a rich history dating back to the Moorish period, with origins possibly even earlier.
The castle played a strategic role during the Christian reconquest of Mallorca in the 13th century. It was initially under Moorish control but fell into Christian hands in 1285. Over the centuries, it underwent various modifications and expansions.
Today, Castell d'Alaró is a popular hiking destination, with visitors trekking up the winding paths to reach its ruins. Along the way, hikers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Mallorcan countryside. At the summit, the castle's remains offer a glimpse into the island's past, and the site serves as a picturesque spot for picnics and exploration.
