Castle of Almodóvar del Río, Medieval castle in Almodóvar del Río, Spain
The Castle of Almodóvar del Río is a stone fortress sitting on a hilltop beside the Guadalquivir River. It features multiple defensive towers, crenellated walls, and a hexagonal chapel that reflect different building periods.
The fortress was originally built in 760 on Roman foundations and later became a key stronghold for Islamic and Christian rulers. It witnessed many power struggles and transfers of control during the medieval centuries.
The fortress displays a blend of Islamic and Christian building styles visible in its towers and walls. Visitors notice how different periods left their own marks on the structure.
The castle is open daily for visitors and offers access to the towers and interior spaces through guided tours. It is best to arrive in the morning when there are fewer visitors and you can enjoy the views from the heights.
The fortress was used as a filming location for scenes in a famous fantasy television series, playing two different major castles. Many visitors recognize the spots they had seen on screen.
