Castillo de la Puebla de Alcocer, Medieval stone castle in Puebla de Alcocer, Spain
The fortress features thick walls measuring three meters, a cylindrical Tower of Homage, and an irregular layout adapted to the rocky terrain.
Built during the 12th century and renovated in 1445, King John II of Castile granted the castle to Don Gutierre de Sotomayor, Master of Alcántara Order.
The castle exhibits architectural elements with brick-framed windows and doors, incorporating Mudéjar style alfices throughout its three-floor structure.
Access to the castle requires prior arrangement with the town hall, and visitors can explore the inner walls, courtyard, and cylindrical tower.
From its position at 550 meters altitude, the castle provides views of La Serena and Orellana reservoirs, among Spain's largest water bodies.
