Castillo de Nogalte, Medieval Islamic castle in Puerto Lumbreras, Spain.
The fortress stands on a hill in Sierra de La Torrecilla with seven towers, some maintaining heights over five meters and featuring double-angled passages.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, this fortress controlled natural communication routes connecting the Spanish regions of Levante and Andalusia.
The castle complex includes cave houses from the 18th century, representing traditional rural dwelling adaptations in the Murcia region.
Visitors can explore the restored castle grounds and cave houses through guided tours that showcase both military architecture and residential spaces.
The fortress contains two distinct enclosures connected by an angled gateway, following typical Al-Andalus architectural patterns of the medieval period.
