Castle of Ayora
editEl castillo de Ayora se encuentra en una elevación de 552 msnm,[1] en el centro de la población valenciana de Ayora. Edificado posiblemente a mediados del siglo XIII, tras la reconquista cristiana, sobre una antigua construcción árabe. El conjunto se componía del palacio-residencia de cuatro plantas, dos plazas fuertes y una gran torre del homenaje, además de otras dependencias para soldados y servidumbre, aljibes y jardines. El conjunto estaba rodeado por cerca de mil metros de murallas y torreones de defensa.
The Castle of Ayora is seated at an elevation of 552 (1,811 ft) metres above mean sea level (mamsl)[1], in the centre of Ayora, a Valencian town. Built probably in the mid 13th century, after the Reconquista, on an ancient Arabian building. The ensemble was composed of the four-storey residence-palace, two fortified towns, and one large keep, as well as other rooms for the soldiers and serfdom, aljibes (European Middle Ages castle cisterns that collected the rain water to provide drinking water to the castles) and gardens. These ensemble was surrounded by around 0.62 mi (1,000 m) of defensive walls and defensive towers.
El castillo quedó arruinado por las tropas de Felipe V en la Guerra de Sucesión Española, pero su perfil y grandes dimensiones todavía son perceptibles. Entre sus restos destaca la torre del homenaje, de planta cuadrada, la puerta falsa, mandada construir por la Marquesa de Zenete en el siglo XVI, sobre la que estaba su escudo de armas, así como lienzos, murallas, cubos, fosos y cisternas.[2]
The castle was reduced to ruins by the troops of Philips V of Spain, in the War of the Spanish Sucession, but its profile and its vast size are still noticeable. The keep, of square plan, the false door (original entrance which recieved this name due to it is no longer the entrance door for a quarry built at its feet), commissioned by the marchioness of Cenete in the 16th century on which was her coat of arms, as well as paintings, defensive walls, buckets, moats, and cisterns, stand out in the wreckage.[2]

History
editDe origen musulmán, fue reconstruido en su totalidad en el siglo XIII tras ser reconquistado el Valle de Ayora por tropas aragonesas[4] entre 1239 y 1243. Con la firma del Tratado de Almizra en 1244 entre la Corona de Castilla y la Corona de Aragón, Ayora queda en poder de los castellanos. Por el Tratado de Campillo firmado en 1281 entre Alfonso X el Sabio de Castilla y Pedro III el Grande de Aragón, Ayora pasa nuevamente a manos aragonesas, como compensación de guerra.
It is of Muslim origin and was rebuild in its entirety in the 13th century after the Valle de Cofrentes was regained by the Aragonese troops between 1239 and 1243. With the signing of the Treaty of Almizra in 1244 between the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon, Ayora is in the hands of the Castilians. Owing to the Treaty of Campillo signed in 1281 between Alfonso X the Wise of Castile and Peter III the Great of Aragon, Ayora is in hands of the Aragoneses again, as a war reparation.
Por el acuerdo de Elche de 1305, Ayora pasará a incorporarse al Reino de Valencia por decisión del rey de Aragón Jaime II el Justo [cita requerida].
Ayora was part of The Kingdom of Valencia once again by decision of James II the Just, the king of Aragon, by means of the Treaty of Elche in 1305.
La primera mención que se hace del castillo proviene precisamente del geógrafo musulmán, Al-Idrisi que en el siglo XII lo cita de pasada.
The first reference of the castle comes precisely from the Muslim geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi who mentioned it in passing in the 12th century.
