Castillo de Reina, Medieval fortress in Reina, Spain.
The stone castle stands on a hilltop position, featuring defensive walls and towers that overlook the surrounding region of Badajoz province.
Built during the late 12th century by Arab forces, the castle served as a strategic defensive point until Fernando III captured it in 1246.
The fortress displays architectural elements from both Islamic and Christian periods, with original Almohad construction techniques visible in its remaining structures.
The castle ruins remain open to visitors throughout the year, offering an extensive view of Sierra Morena and the territories stretching toward Córdoba.
The castle walls were constructed using a traditional Arab technique of rammed earth encased in wooden frameworks, later reinforced with masonry in the 15th century.
