Castillo de Salvatierra de los Barros, Medieval castle in Salvatierra de los Barros, Spain.
The fortress features multiple defensive enclosures with semi-cylindrical towers and strong walls positioned on a rocky elevation at 650 meters above sea level.
Juan Pacheco constructed this stone fortress in the fifteenth century, which later transferred to the Order of Alcantara in 1461 through an exchange of towns.
The Spanish government designated this medieval structure as a Site of Cultural Interest and Historical Complex on September 3, 1991.
The castle stands 66 kilometers from Badajoz and 64 kilometers from Merida, offering visitors access to explore its military architecture and defensive systems.
The eastern section contains a keep protected by a second stronghold with a barbican, demonstrating fifteenth-century military engineering techniques.
