Castle of Cadrete, Medieval fortress in Cadrete, Spain
The Castle of Cadrete stands on a hilltop with natural defenses, featuring three distinct enclosures and a four-story tower with Islamic architectural elements.
Abd al-Rahman III commissioned this fortification in 935 to counter the siege of Saraqusta when the local governor refused to follow caliphate orders.
The castle structure incorporates the tapial construction technique, showcasing traditional Muslim building methods with gypsum mortar as the primary material.
