Almudaina d'Artà, Medieval citadel in Artà, Spain
The stone fortification stands on Puig de Sant Salvador hill, featuring thick defensive walls that encircle the pilgrimage church of Sant Salvador.
Built during the 10th century under Islamic rule, the fortress served as a strategic defense point until Christians repurposed it following their conquest in 1232.
The pilgrimage church within the fortress walls houses La Mare de Déu de Sant Salvador, the patron saint figure of the town of Artà.
Visitors can reach the fortress by following marked paths from central Artà, with the site located at coordinates 39.696326 latitude and 3.353676 longitude.
During the plague outbreak of 1820, the fortress compound functioned as a lazaretto, leading to the burning of its buildings to prevent disease spread.
