Castillo de Mora, Medieval castle in Mora, Toledo Province, Spain
The stone fortress stands on a mountain peak 3 kilometers east of Mora, featuring a square tower with masonry and mudéjar brick construction patterns.
The castle was constructed in the 10th century during Abderramán III's reign as a defensive structure to monitor southern access routes to Toledo.
The Order of Santiago maintained a garrison of fifty knight-monks at the castle from 1172 until the 17th century, marking its religious-military significance.
The fortress contains three distinct sections with an irregular floor plan, including multiple levels connected by vaulted ceilings made of half-barrel bricks.
The castle's architecture combines both Islamic and Christian building techniques, reflecting the territorial transitions during the medieval period in central Spain.
