Castillo de Lanjarón, Medieval castle in Lanjarón, Spain.

The stone castle contains a quadrangular structure with thick walls, wide battlements, pointed arches at the entrance, and a fortified tower on one side.

Built during the 12th century for surveillance and defense, the castle underwent modifications in the 14th century when Castilian forces reduced its size to one-third.

The castle walls and tower display the architectural elements of both Moorish and Spanish military construction techniques from different historical periods.

Visitors can reach the castle by following marked paths from Lanjarón center, though the limestone outcrop location requires careful walking on uneven terrain.

Inside the fortress, a preserved space marks the location of an ancient cistern that supplied water to inhabitants during extended siege periods.
