Castillo de Fregenal de la Sierra, Medieval castle in Fregenal de la Sierra, Spain.
The fortress features seven towers including the main tower, which was transformed into a bell tower during the eighteenth century.
The Knights Templar received control of the castle in the thirteenth century, marking its first documented reference in historical records.
The castle forms part of the Fortalezas de la Banda Gallega, a defensive system that protected the Kingdom of Seville from Portuguese advances.
The castle now contains a bull ring constructed in 1781 and a market hall built between 1914 and 1915.
Archaeological excavations revealed Roman remains, indicating that all stones used in the construction came from an ancient Roman city.
