Castillo del Berrueco, Medieval fortress in Torredelcampo, Spain.
Castillo del Berrueco is a medieval fortress built on a rocky hilltop with two distinct defensive enclosures. The structure contains three towers - one square and two circular ones - positioned to defend the elevated terrain.
The fortress was built during the Almohad period in the 12th century and underwent major changes after the Castilian conquest in 1228. These transformations reflect the shift from Muslim to Christian control in the region.
The fortress served as a control point in a network of defensive structures that monitored routes between nearby towns and settlements. Visitors can still observe how its strategic position would have regulated movement and trade in the region.
The ruins are located between Torredelcampo and Fuerte del Rey and can be visited throughout the year. The hilltop location offers visitors good views of the surrounding landscape.
The perimeter walls contain numerous arrow slits and a dry moat that once connected to a drawbridge at the main gate. These features reveal the sophisticated defensive mechanisms that were built into the structure.
