Castillo, Medieval castle in Lopera, Spain

The castle spans 3500 square meters and features five defense towers within its external walls, alongside two internal towers named San Miguel and Santa María.

The Military Order of Calatrava received the fortress in 1242 from King Ferdinand III after the Christian conquest of the region from Muslim control.

The castle maintains a museum showcasing exhibits about the Calatrava Order, the Battle of Lopera, and its period as a wine cellar in the 20th century.

Regular admission costs 4 euros, while residents of Lopera and children under 10 years enter free of charge to explore the medieval structure.

The Santa María tower contains a Gothic chapel with Renaissance decorations that exemplifies the architectural evolution of the defensive structure over centuries.
