Castillo Gahete, Medieval castle in Belalcázar, Spain.
The fortress features a diamond-shaped layout with eight corner towers and a monumental weapons patio surrounded by a defensive moat.
Built in the second half of the 15th century, the castle served as a communication bridge between Sevilla and Córdoba during Muslim rule.
The castle name evolved from Gafiq to Gahete, reflecting the Arab influence and architectural styles brought to the region over centuries.
The castle remains closed to interior visits, but visitors can observe its exterior walls and appreciate the Gothic-Military architectural elements.
The main tower rises 47 meters high across six floors, making it the tallest castle structure in the Iberian Peninsula.
