These fragments offer a glimpse of the castle’s former structure and its place in Frigiliana’s historic landscape. The remains are protected under Spain’s historic heritage legislation, including the general protection established by a decree of April 22, 1949, and Law 16 of 1985 on Spanish Historical Heritage.
