Castle of Huete, Medieval fortress in Huete, Spain.
The Castle of Huete stands on a rectangular layout following the hilltop, featuring fifteen external towers and one internal tower built with stone masonry.
The fortress traces its origins to the 8th century when Berber settlers constructed it upon Roman ruins, later becoming a strategic point during the Reconquista period.
The castle exemplifies the architectural transition between Islamic and Christian military structures, with elements from both Emirate and Caliphate periods visible in its towers.
Visitors can reach the castle through a marked path leading to the hilltop, where information panels explain the historical significance of the structure.
The southeastern tower measures 12 meters in height with a 22-meter diameter, while the interior contains five grain silos and a divided water cistern.
