Castle of Anguix, Medieval fortress in Sayatón, Spain.
The Castle of Anguix stands on a 100-meter-high rocky outcrop, offering views across the Tajo River and surrounding agricultural lands.
The castle originated in 1136 when knight Martin Ordonez constructed a keep under orders from King Alfonso VII to support regional population growth.
The structure represents the architectural evolution of Spanish military fortifications, featuring a pentagonal layout with 6-meter-high walls and corner towers.
Visitors need to travel 2 kilometers on unpaved roads through farmlands before completing a steep walk to reach the castle entrance.
The castle contains a spiral wall staircase leading to a cellar that functioned as both a water storage system and a prison.
