Castillo de las Arguijuelas de Arriba, Medieval castle in Cáceres, Spain
The castle features a square enclosure with a central courtyard, four towers at its corners, and walls built using masonry and stonework techniques.
The construction of this fortress began between 1513 and 1550 under the direction of Don Diego de Ovando de Cáceres, with architect Pedro de Larrea.
