Guardamar Castle, Medieval castle in Guardamar del Segura, Spain.

The Guardamar Castle stands on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, featuring stone walls and fortified structures that define its military architecture.

The castle, constructed in the 12th century as an Arab citadel, underwent modifications during King Alfonso X's reign and endured substantial damage from earthquakes in 1823 and 1829.

The fortress received designation as a Site of Cultural Interest in 1985, recognizing its significance in the Valencian Community's architectural heritage.

Visitors need sturdy walking shoes to climb the hill and reach the castle, where they can explore the remains of the fort and citadel structures.

Archaeological excavations around the castle reveal continuous human presence from the Iron Age through Phoenician, Iberian, and Roman periods.
