Castle of Dos Hermanas, Medieval castle in Navahermosa, Spain.
The Castle of Dos Hermanas sits on quartzite cliffs with three remaining facades and a single pointed arch entrance, surrounded by stone walls. The structure stands in an elevated position approximately 2 kilometers from Navahermosa center.
The fortress was built in the 12th century to protect a shepherd settlement. The garrison was abandoned in 1444 after regional conflicts came to an end.
The name comes from two sister rocks separated by the Merlin Stream, and the walls are two meters thick.
Access is via a dirt road that leads to this elevated defensive position. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be ready to walk a bit to reach the ruins.
Local stories speak of two Moorish princesses who transform into animals at night to wash their clothes in the Merlin Stream during the feast of San Juan. This legend remains part of the local lore and is still told by people in the area today.
