Castillo de Hornos, Medieval fortress in Hornos, Spain
The castle stands on a rocky hill at 867 meters elevation, featuring a trapezoidal enclosure and a square tower with rounded corners.
Built between the 13th and 14th centuries by the Order of Santiago, the fortress incorporated elements from an existing Muslim structure called Hisn Furnus.
The castle serves as a testament to medieval military architecture, combining both Christian and Islamic construction techniques from different periods.
Visitors can access the castle throughout the year and participate in guided tours that explain the defensive systems of medieval Spain.
The castle houses the Cosmolarium, an astronomical center with observation facilities for studying the night sky from its elevated position.
