Castle Calatravo, Medieval castle in Alcañiz, Spain
The Castle of Calatrava stands on Pui-Pinos Hill, featuring a Romanesque chapel, Gothic keep, and Renaissance palace with detailed architectural elements throughout the structure.
The Calatrava Order received this fortress in 1179 from King Alfonso II of Aragon, establishing it as the headquarters for their military operations.
The castle walls display Gothic murals from the 14th century depicting scenes from the life of King James I and religious narratives in regional artistic style.
The castle functions as a Parador hotel since 1968, offering accommodations in a historical setting with rates between 0.95 and 4.85 euros for guided tours.
The chapel contains an alabaster tomb of Juan de Lanuza created by sculptor Damián Forment, representing Aragonese Renaissance funerary art.
