Castillo de Belmonte, Medieval castle in Belmonte, Spain
The castle stands on San Cristobal hill with six cylindrical towers forming a star pattern and features Gothic-Mudejar architectural elements throughout its structure.
Juan Pacheco, the first Marquis de Villena, ordered the construction of this fortification in 1456 during political instability in the Kingdom of Castile.
The castle incorporates Mudejar design elements in its ceilings, particularly in the chapel where intricate coffered details mirror those found in Spanish Islamic architecture.
The fortress maintains three entrance gates - Puerta del Campo, Puerta de la Villa, and Puerta de los Peregrinos - with one hundred artillery positions along its walls.
The castle layout combines an equilateral triangle base with additional structures to create a nine-sided polygon featuring six towers in a six-pointed star configuration.
