Alcázar de Arriba y Puerta de Marchena, Medieval fortress in Carmona, Spain.
The Alcázar de Arriba features a horseshoe arch entrance, defensive walls, nine towers, and a rectangular courtyard at the highest point of Carmona.
Built during the Caliphate of Córdoba on Roman ruins, the fortress gained prominence when King Pedro I of Castile selected it as his residence in the 14th century.
The fortress combines Islamic and Christian architectural elements, exemplified in its Mudéjar style renovations ordered by Pedro I during his reign.
The fortress remains stand at the western end of the city walls, though access requires careful planning as the site lacks wheelchair accessibility.
The structure includes El Cubete, a specialized artillery fortification added during the Catholic Monarchs period to modernize the defensive capabilities.
