Castle of Rueda de Jalón
Castle of Rueda de Jalón, Medieval fortress in Rueda de Jalón, Spain
The castle sits on an elevated triangular platform with three distinct levels, featuring square towers constructed from rammed earth atop the mountain.
The fortress, conquered by the Banu Qasi of Zaragoza in 882, experienced multiple sieges, including an unsuccessful attempt by Alfonso VI of León in 1083.
The castle represents a significant example of Muslim military architecture from the High Middle Ages in Aragón, incorporating residential areas and defensive structures.
The deteriorating structure requires immediate conservation efforts, leading to its inclusion in the Red List of Endangered Heritage items since 2007.
Underground chambers remain accessible through rock-carved stairs, connecting to a water cistern system that served the medieval inhabitants.
