Castillo, Medieval fortress ruins in Huelva, Spain

The San Pedro Castle stands on a hill in the old town of Huelva, featuring defensive walls and towers overlooking the surrounding landscape.

The castle belonged to the Dukes of Medina Sidonia until the 1755 Lisbon earthquake caused substantial damage to its structure and the French army later attacked it.

The castle grounds contain archaeological remains that provide information about medieval military architecture and defense systems in southern Spain.

The site remains closed to visitors as it sits on private property, though the local government plans to restore and open the fortress.

Two defensive structures connected to the original castle complex were discovered during archaeological excavations, indicating a larger fortification system.
