Alcalá de la Selva Castle, Medieval fortress in Teruel Province, Spain.
The stone castle stands on elevated terrain, featuring defensive walls and towers that extend across the hilltop position overlooking the surrounding valleys.
The fortress changed hands during several conflicts, notably serving as a stronghold for Carlist forces between 1835 and 1840 during the First Carlist War.
The castle holds protected status as Bien de Interés Cultural de Aragón, emphasizing its role in preserving the architectural heritage of the region.
Visitors can reach the castle through marked paths from the village center, with parking facilities available at the base of the hill.
The castle walls incorporate local stone materials that match the natural rock formations of the mountainous landscape where it stands.
