Castillo, Medieval fortress in Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain
The castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the village, with its remaining homage tower and rectangular cistern representing medieval military architecture.
Built during the Almohad period, the fortress underwent seven sieges before its final capture by Christian forces in 1484 under the reign of Isabella I.
The Castle Quarter encompasses the former alcazar area, with the homage tower serving as a symbol of medieval power structures in Andalusia.
Visitors can freely access the castle grounds throughout the year, protected under Spanish Historical Heritage Law and offering educational panels about regional history.
The fortress features two distinct entrances: one for pedestrians connecting to the Mirador de la Peña district and another for cavalry at the alcazar's southwest corner.
