Here's my first upload of a photograph taken with my new Olympus XA. This was shot on Arista 400 film, stand developed in Rodinal for 1 hour, and scanned using a CanoScan 8400F. I'm having some problems with waterspots on my negatives, which hopefully I can straighten out in the next pass. If anyone has good tips for avoiding this problem, please share!

En el área del castillo han aparecido restos prehistóricos, ibéricos y romanos. Tras la reconquista se iniciaron las actuales murallas y las dependencias que ya existían fueron habilitadas para los reyes cristianos.
El castillo se divide en tres niveles: un primer nivel situado en la parte inferior del peñón en el que se encuentras la entrada y el Palacio del Gobernador. En el segundo nivel se situaban las baterías de artillería. Y en el tercer nivel se encontraría el castillo propiamente dicho. La parte inferior esta rodeada de murallas y torres, de las cuales son la mayoría semicirculares, que surgen de la parte oeste en forma de zigzag.
El castillo, en la parte superior, sufrió modificaciones en la guerra de Sucesión y durante las guerras carlistas, siendo bombardeada la torre celoquia en 1813. A esta zona más elevada se accede a través de una escalera, que tenía 90 peldaños de los que se conservan 54, que conduce a una puerta que da paso a la plaza por un pasadizo que desemboca en la plaza de armas.
En el centro de la misma se encuentra un aljibe de época romana, sobre el que hay una garita del siglo XIX y los restos de un cuerpo de guardia. En la parte sur se encuentran los restos de una edificación compuesta por semisótano que se comunicaba con la torre celoquia.

Fue reformada en el siglo XIII, según documentos del siglo XVIII tenia tres plantas, con bóveda la planta baja y la primera, con cubierta exterior a cuatro aguas.
