Castillo, Medieval castle in Alcalá de Guadaíra, Spain.

The castle complex features eleven interconnected towers with fortified walls positioned on a hill overlooking the Guadaíra River meander.

Built during Muslim rule in the 11th century, the castle received modifications after Ferdinand III's reconquest and underwent improvements until the 16th century.

The castle structure displays both Islamic and Gothic architectural elements, reflecting the regional transitions between different historical periods and building techniques.

Visitors can explore the castle without entrance fees on Thursdays and Fridays from 11:00 to 13:00, weekends from 10:00 to 14:00, and holidays from 11:00 to 14:00.

The castle contains three distinct internal enclosures, including the Patio de la Sima and Patio de los Silos, connected through passages and protected by defensive structures.
