"El castillo de Chiva, en la provincia de Valencia (España), es una fortaleza medieval de origen musulmán edificada sobre restos romanos, que se localiza en un cerro desde el que se domina la población y que formaba parte del conjunto defensivo de la población de Valencia, controlando sus comunicaciones con el interior.

El castillo se sitúa sobre una plataforma plana y alargada en la parte alta del cerro, adaptándose al terreno en dirección norte-sur.

La fortaleza constaba de tres líneas defensivas y si bien se halla en ruina, quedan restos de lienzos de la muralla y una torre, construidas con tapial.

Pueden distinguirse dos partes, una de ellas, la celosía se sitúa en la parte más alta, y donde reutilizando los restos de la fortaleza, se construyó en el siglo xviii una ermita".

The castle is located on a flat and elongated platform at the top of the hill, adapting to the terrain in a north-south direction.

Two parts can be distinguished, one of them, the latticework is located in the highest part, and where, reusing the remains of the fortress, a hermitage was built in the 18th century".
