Castillo de las Aguzaderas, Medieval fortress in El Coronil, Spain.

The castle contains six defensive towers positioned strategically around its perimeter: Torre de Cote, Bollo, Lopera, Águila, Alocaz, and Llado.

Built by Moors in the 14th century, the castle underwent modifications during the 15th and 16th centuries to adapt to evolving military requirements.

The Spanish Ministry of Culture carried out a complete restoration of the castle during the 1960s, preserving its architectural elements for future generations.

Located in a valley rather than on a hilltop, the castle remains accessible to visitors throughout the year without supervision or entrance fees.

The fortress was constructed to protect a vital water spring that served as the primary water source for the Las Aguzaderas fountain.
