Castell de Corbera, Medieval fortress on hilltop in Corbera, Spain.

The castle features irregular walls built with limestone and mortar, spanning 47 centimeters in width across its defensive perimeter.

Built in the 11th century on Roman foundations, the fortress controlled the Sierra de la Murta foothills until its destruction during the Germania revolt in 1521.

The castle walls preserve Kufic inscriptions praising Allah, reflecting the Islamic architectural influence during its construction period.

The fortress remains stand 3 kilometers from Corbera's center, offering unrestricted access to visitors throughout the year.

The Almohade albarrana tower rises 16 meters high, representing one of the most complete examples of this defensive structure in Europe.
