Castillo de las Cinco Esquinas, Medieval castle in Cazorla, Spain.

The Castle of the Five Corners stands on Salvatierra Hill with a pentagonal tower and rectangular courtyards divided by interior walls.

Built during the 14th century over Arab fortification remains, the castle served as a defense structure against potential attacks from the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada.

The castle combines both Islamic and Christian architectural elements, featuring pointed arches, brick vaults, and carefully crafted stone masonry techniques.

The fortress maintains partial enclosure walls on its eastern side, while the northern and western sections reveal only their foundation traces.

The main tower features an irregular pentagon shape with three right angles, measuring approximately 14 meters on each of its similar sides.
