Salvatierra Castle, Medieval castle in Calzada de Calatrava, Spain

The stone fortress stands on a hillock at Mount Atalaya's foot, featuring defensive walls and structures that extend across the elevation point.

Built between the 9th and 11th centuries, the castle changed hands multiple times between Muslim and Christian forces during the medieval territorial conflicts.

The castle represents the architectural methods of both Islamic and Christian military constructions, displaying different building techniques from each period.

Located 5 kilometers from Calzada de Calatrava, the castle sits on private property and requires special permission for visits.

The fortress faces Calatrava la Nueva castle across the landscape, creating a rare example of rival castles within visible range of each other.
