Castillo de Mirabel, Stone castle in Mirabel, Spain.

The castle stands at 572 meters above sea level on Cerro del Acero, featuring thick defensive walls and towers that overlook the surrounding territory.

Built in 1229 by Munió Blazquez I and reconstructed in the 13th century, the castle received cultural heritage status protection on September 3, 1991.

The Zúñiga family received the title of Marquesses of Mirabel in 1535 from King Charles I, establishing their influence in the region.

The fortress includes a 3.2-kilometer access path with a 4.4% gradient, connecting to major roads like Carretera de Mirabel a N-630.

The castle retains cruciform arrow slits typical of 15th-century Extremadura fortifications and contains a large chamber with a barrel vault made of brick.
