Castle of Jerez de los Caballeros, Medieval fortress in Jerez de los Caballeros, Spain.
The stone castle features a pentagonal layout with preserved walls, a Gothic tower, and a central courtyard containing a 15th-century chapel.
Built in the 13th century by the Knights Templar, the castle served as a strategic military stronghold during the Christian Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula.
The fortress represents the architectural evolution of military structures in Extremadura, incorporating elements from various periods including Roman and Visigothic influences.
Located on Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the castle offers free access to visitors who can explore its grounds and enjoy views over the Ardila River valley.
The castle's tower contains a rare double-arched Gothic window and stands on foundations that reveal successive occupations from Phoenicians to medieval times.
