Castillo de los Cornel, Medieval fortress in Alfajarín, Spain.
The castle occupies a strategic position on a rocky outcrop of the Montes Blancos, featuring a pentagonal layout of 100 by 60 meters.
Built by Muslims in the 11th century, the castle changed hands multiple times between Islamic and Christian forces until its final conquest in 1141.
The fortress received its name from the Cornel barony, who owned it from the late 13th to late 14th century through a donation by King James II of Aragon.
Visitors can access the castle through its main entrance, which formerly contained a drawbridge between two defensive towers with pointed arches.
The castle features a homage tower from the 14th century constructed with brick-covered rammed earth, incorporating military architectural elements of both Islamic and Christian periods.
