Castillo del Berrueco, Medieval fortress in Torredelcampo, Spain.
The castle features two distinct enclosures with three defensive towers, a square one and two circular ones, built upon a rocky elevation near ancient roads.
The fortress, constructed during the Almohad period in the 12th century, underwent substantial modifications after the Castilian conquest of 1228.
The castle formed part of a network of defensive structures controlling access between multiple settlements including Jaén, Martos, Arjona, and Andújar.
The castle remains stand between Torredelcampo and Fuerte del Rey, approximately 18 kilometers from Jaén, and visitors can access the site throughout the year.
The perimeter walls contain numerous arrow slits and a dry moat that previously connected to a drawbridge at the main entrance.
