Castle of Almorchón, Medieval fortress in Cabeza del Buey, Spain.
The Castle of Almorchón stands on a rocky hill in Badajoz province, featuring a pentagonal keep and a cylindrical defensive tower with brick details.
The castle changed ownership from the Knights Templar to the Order of Alcántara in the early 14th century, undergoing complete reconstruction during this transition.
The structure displays the noble coat of arms of the Rol-Zúñiga family, marking the mid-15th century reconstruction over the former Muslim fortress.
The castle ruins require careful navigation due to their elevated position, offering views of the surrounding landscape extending several kilometers.
The fortress maintains two distinct architectural elements: a pentagonal tower built with masonry and a cylindrical defense tower with a brick ring at its upper end.
