Fuerte del Tempul, Medieval fortification in San José del Valle, Spain.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground with thick defensive walls, square towers, and structured battlements overlooking the surrounding valleys.
During the regional conflicts of medieval Spain, this fortification served as a strategic military outpost controlling access routes between major settlements.
The fortification represents traditional Spanish military architecture through its construction methods, materials, and defensive layout patterns.
Visitors can reach the fortification by following the marked hiking path from San José del Valle's central square, which takes approximately 40 minutes.
The fortress contains underground chambers connected by a network of tunnels that were used for storing supplies and facilitating military movements.
