Castillo del Moral, Medieval castle in Lucena, Spain.
The castle features an octagonal tower, defensive walls, and multiple chambers that showcase military architectural elements from the 15th century.
In 1483, the castle gained prominence when the last Nasrid ruler of Granada, Boabdil, was imprisoned in its tower after the Battle of Lucena.
The castle structure now contains the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Lucena, presenting exhibits from the Paleolithic era through medieval times.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with entrance tickets costing 3 euros, and includes access to panoramic views from the tower.
The Sima del Angel room within the castle museum displays archaeological findings that rank among Spain's three most important sites for human origins.
