Castillo de Olvera, Medieval castle on hilltop in Olvera, Spain.
The castle stretches across an elongated triangular layout at 623 meters above sea level, following the natural contours of its rocky foundation.
Built during the 12th century under Moorish rule, the fortress served as a defensive structure until its capture by King Alfonso XI in 1327.
The castle combines architectural elements from Islamic and Christian periods, featuring a rectangular keep with barrel-vaulted ceilings and defensive turrets.
The castle provides access to visitors throughout the year and contains two ancient water cisterns within its underground sections.
The structure includes a protective barbican gate system and maintains clear sightlines to neighboring Hierro Castle through its strategic positioning.
