Castillo de Davalillo, Medieval castle in San Asensio, Spain.

The Davalillo Castle features a polygonal floor plan with seven sides, constructed entirely from ashlar stone on a hill above the Ebro River.

The castle, dating from the late 12th century during Alfonso VIII's reign, protected Castilian territories against potential attacks from the Kingdom of Navarre.

Next to the castle lies the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Davalillo, which served as the parish church for the former village community.

The castle remains in private ownership under Bodegas CVNE since 2019, with access restrictions due to its preservation status as an endangered heritage site.

The fortress incorporates cylindrical defensive towers at both wall corners and center points, with one tower containing an arrow slit for military purposes.
