Castle of Capilla, Medieval fortress in Badajoz, Spain
The Castle of Capilla rises above steep cliffs in Extremadura, featuring thick stone walls, watchtowers, and defensive structures that span multiple levels.
During the Middle Ages, this fortress acted as a military stronghold for Christian kingdoms, guarding strategic routes across the Extremadura region against potential invasions.
