Burgalimar Castle, Moorish fortress in Baños de la Encina, Spain.
The castle extends over 100 meters in length and 50 meters in width, featuring square towers along its perimeter walls at regular intervals.
Built in 967 AD during the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba, the castle changed hands between Muslim and Christian forces until Ferdinand III's conquest in 1225.
The structure showcases Arabic architectural techniques through its tapial roji construction, combining clay, sand, lime, and stones for strong fortification walls.
Visitors can access the castle's towers and walkways, which provide views across the Andalusian landscape and the town of Baños de la Encina.
The castle contains a divided cistern in its inner courtyard and maintains its original oval shape from the 10th century Muslim construction period.
