Castillo de Suel, Moorish castle in Fuengirola, Spain
The fortified structure rises 38 meters above sea level at the mouth of Fuengirola River, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding coastline.
Built in 956 during the Caliphate period, the castle served as a strategic defense point for centuries until its transformation into a cultural center in the 1980s.
The castle grounds host the annual Marenostrum Music Festival from May to September, bringing international performers to the Costa del Sol stage.
Visitors can reach the castle through exit 208A of the Mediterranean Highway, with a supervised parking area located next to the castle grounds.
The castle complex includes a river park at its base, the only navigable waterway in Malaga province where visitors can rent boats and kayaks.
