Castillo de la Recompensa, Medieval fortress in Monteagudo de las Vicarías, Spain.

The pentagonal castle features three distinct towers: a circular one in the west, a rectangular one in the south, and an octagonal one in the east.

The Hurtado de Mendoza family constructed this Gothic-Renaissance castle between the 15th and 16th centuries at the border of Castile and Aragon kingdoms.

The Renaissance courtyard displays a double gallery with Plateresque plasterwork decoration in its upper section, reflecting Spanish architectural traditions.

Visitors can access the castle through two entrances with pointed arches, while the surrounding wall contains numerous preserved sections for exploration.

A passage connects the castle directly to the church on the western wall, demonstrating the integration of religious and defensive architecture.
