Castle of Moeche, Medieval castle in Moeche, Spain
The Castle of Moeche is a medieval fortification with thick stone walls arranged in an octagonal shape. The structure includes multiple sections and is dominated by a tall defensive tower at its entrance.
The Andrade family built the castle during the 14th century to demonstrate their regional power. Later, it was attacked during social unrest and gradually lost its defensive importance.
The castle is seen today as a symbol of the area's medieval past, reflecting how noble families displayed their power through stone fortifications. Visitors can understand how such structures once shaped the landscape and local identity.
Access to the castle interior requires obtaining a key from the municipal office before your visit. It is best to contact the local administration in advance to arrange entry.
The most prominent tower rises significantly above the surrounding walls and is visible from a distance. This tower remains one of the few original elements that is clearly recognizable from outside today.
