Castillo, Medieval fortress in Segura de la Sierra, Spain
The castle stands atop a hill with four defensive towers, including the Tower of Homage, and features multiple enclosed courtyards within its stone walls.
Originally built by Muslims in the 8th century, the fortress served as the headquarters of the Order of Santiago following the Christian conquest in 1241.
The castle contains preserved Arab baths and a Mudéjar chapel, representing the architectural influences of both Islamic and Christian periods in Spain.
Visitors need to walk 400 meters from the parking area and climb 80 steps to reach the castle entrance, which serves as the town's tourist center.
The entrance tower features a double-bent passageway from the 11th century, requiring attackers to pass through two separate doors for enhanced defense.
