Castillo de Rochafrida, Medieval fortress in Beteta, Spain.
The castle stands on a rocky hill east of Beteta, with stone walls and defensive structures adapted to the natural terrain configuration.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries during Muslim rule, the castle underwent modifications in the 19th century under Carlist military leadership.
The fortress represents the architectural traditions of medieval Spain, combining both Muslim and Christian military construction techniques of that period.
Visitors need sturdy walking shoes and water for the uphill climb to reach the castle, which requires moderate physical effort.
The castle preserves elements from two distinct historical periods, featuring both medieval Islamic design and 19th-century military adaptations.
