Castle of la Muela, Medieval castle on Cerro Calderico, Consuegra, Spain
The Castle of La Muela stands at the summit of Cerro Calderico, featuring square structures with cylindrical towers and thick defensive walls measuring 4.5 meters.
The Knights Hospitaller received the castle as a gift from King Alfonso VIII in 1183, transforming it into their headquarters and residence for significant priors.
The fortress includes multiple architectural elements such as water cisterns, a chapter house, archives chamber, hermitage, watchtower, terraces, gardens, and defensive barbican.
Visitors can access approximately fifty percent of the restored castle structure, which maintains its original layout and defensive features from medieval times.
The castle requires passage through seven separate gates to reach its central core, with towers reaching heights of 30 meters above ground level.
