Castle of La Raya, Medieval fortress in Monteagudo de las Vicarías, Spain.
The Castle of La Raya stands on a hilltop, featuring a rectangular enclosure with a main tower and defensive structures at opposite corners.
Built during the 13th century under Alfonso VIII's rule, the castle served as a strategic lookout point between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon.
The fortress represents the military architecture of medieval Spain, with its stone blocks at corners and brick walls reflecting regional construction methods.
The castle remains are accessible to visitors, located near the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de la Torre between Monteagudo de las Vicarías and Pozuel de Ariza.
An underground passage connects to a water cistern within the castle structure, demonstrating medieval engineering capabilities for water storage and defense.
