Castillo de Marchenilla, Medieval castle in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Spain.
The Marchenilla Castle features a square layout with corner towers, watchtowers in the center of each wall, and a rectangular homage tower reaching 14.5 meters.
The fortress was established in the late 13th century as a response to Marinid invasions, later becoming part of the Gandul and Marchenilla lordship under Arnao de Solier.
The castle contains the Chapel of San Isidro Labrador, constructed in the 17th century, which houses a valuable painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
The castle entrance is located on the southern side through a narrow door, leading to rooms with ribbed vaulting and agricultural spaces within the walled enclosure.
The main tower might be a remnant of Calachibencarro, the first boundary marker mentioned in the privilege granted by King Alfonso X.
