Castillo de Jódar, Medieval fortress in Jódar, Spain
The Castle of Jódar stands atop Cerro de San Cristóbal hill with two towers overlooking the valleys of Guadalquivir, Guadiana Menor and Jandulilla rivers.
The fortress dates back to the 8th century during the Emirate period and underwent modifications during Almoravid and Almohad rule before its conquest in 1231.
The North Tower houses the Interpretation Center of Jódar History while the South Tower functions as a visitor center for Sierra Mágina Natural Park.
The castle provides educational resources about local flora and fauna, along with information about hiking trails throughout Sierra Mágina Natural Park.
The fortress contains an ancient water reservoir system between its two separate towers, which enhanced its defensive capabilities during military conflicts.
