The emblematic castle that makes it up has existed, according to historical archives, since 1244 when King Jaume I gave the Villa de Anna to the Order of Santiago. The courtyard and the Arab halls of this Palace will be visited, which recreate the decorative world of the Muslims, settled in this municipality from the 12th century, with their splendid ceramic mosaics, coffered ceilings and plasterwork. The modern age makes its way into the Borja and Cervellón rooms, setting each era with decoration and furniture and with a multimedia projection that uses images and sounds to bring the visitor closer to the families that owned Anna County.

The fortress is divided into two: the Minor Castle, based on the Iberian and Roman remains. It is the oldest part of the castle and has fantastic views of the Bixquert valley. Touring the Castillo Menor will take us to relive the legends and wars that were fought on this side of the castle. The other part of the Xativa Castle is the Castillo Mayor, built after the medieval period. It is the largest and best-preserved part of the fortress and it has imposing walls that, after the conquest of King Jaume I, became the main defense fortress between Castile and the Kingdom of Valencia.
