Castle of Monteagudo, Medieval fortress on rocky hill in Monteagudo, Spain.
The Castle of Monteagudo stands atop a 149-meter limestone outcrop, with a 14-meter-high statue of Christ positioned at its summit point.
King Ibn Mardanish selected this strategic location from 1147 to 1172 to establish a defensive line before the territory fell under Castilian control.
The castle site contains archaeological remains from multiple periods, including Argoric, Iberian, Roman, and Islamic civilizations that inhabited this region.
The Monteagudo Interpretation Centre at Plaza Iglesia presents 5,000 years of regional history through exhibits and educational displays about local civilizations.
A 6-kilometer circular path connects the castle to other historical structures, allowing visitors to explore ancient irrigation systems and defensive fortifications.
