Castillo de Uclés, Medieval fortress in Uclés, Spain
The stone castle features three preserved towers aligned north to south, connected by bridges and fortified walls reaching four meters in height.
The castle was constructed in 801 by Muslim forces and later transferred to Christian control in 1085 following the conquest of Toledo.
The structure became the headquarters of the Order of Santiago, a medieval military organization that influenced Spanish medieval architecture and warfare.
