Castillo de Montemolín, Medieval stone castle in Montemolín, Spain.
The castle stands on a hilltop near Sierra Morena, featuring thick stone walls, multiple defensive towers, and remnants of ancient fortifications.
Built upon an Almohad fortress in 1248, the Order of Santiago constructed this stone castle as part of their defensive network against Moorish advances.
The castle contains the remains of Santo Domingo church and served as the Casa de la Encomienda headquarters for the Order of Santiago.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through marked pathways, with information panels explaining the historical significance of different sections.
The castle's walls incorporate an earthen mound foundation, demonstrating the integration of Almohad architectural techniques with Christian military engineering.
