Castillo de Bujaraiza, Medieval fortress in Hornos, Spain.
The castle features a polygonal walled enclosure with a three-story main tower constructed from small masonry and lime mortar laid in rows.
In 1239, Master Pedro Pérez Pelayo Correa of the Order of Santiago conquered this fortress and incorporated it into the Encomienda of Segura de la Sierra.
The fortress stands as a representative example of medieval military architecture in the Sierra de Segura region, with characteristics similar to neighboring castles.
The castle, now situated on an island within Tranco reservoir, requires boat access and maintains unrestricted entry for visitors throughout the year.
The structure contains a preserved water cistern and remnants of defensive walls that emerge from the water when the reservoir levels decrease.
