Castillo de Aznalmara
Castillo de Aznalmara, Medieval fortress in Benaocaz, Spain
The castle stands on a 540-meter hill near the Tavizna River, featuring thick defensive walls, square towers, and two water cisterns within its structure.
Built in the 13th century during the Nasrid period, the fortress changed hands between Muslims and Christians until its final capture by the Marquis of Cadiz in 1485.
The castle forms part of a defensive network with other fortresses including Olvera, Zahara de la Sierra, Setenil de las Bodegas, Fatetar, and Fatima castles.
The castle ruins are accessible from the Ubrique-El Bosque road at kilometer 23, located 111 kilometers from Cadiz and 41 kilometers from Ronda.
A pentagonal tower, added by French troops during the Independence War, distinguishes this fortress from other medieval structures in the region.
