Castillo de Mirabel, Stone castle in Mirabel, Spain.
Castillo de Mirabel sits at 572 meters above sea level on Cerro del Acero overlooking the surrounding landscape. Its thick stone walls and towers form a fortified structure typical of medieval defensive architecture.
The castle was founded in 1229 by Munió Blazquez I and underwent reconstruction in the 13th century. It received official protection as a cultural heritage site in 1991.
The Zúñiga family shaped the castle's importance after receiving the title of Marquess from King Charles I in 1535. Their prominence made this fortress a seat of regional power and influence.
A gentle access path connects the castle to nearby main roads making arrival by car straightforward. The paths are narrow so sturdy footwear and caution in wet weather are recommended.
The fortress retains cruciform arrow slits from the 15th century typical of regional fortifications of that era. Inside sits a large brick-vaulted chamber showing the construction methods of the period.
