Alcázar, Archaeological site in Úbeda, Spain.

The excavated structures of Alcázar contain ancient walls, streets, and residential buildings that reveal the medieval urban development of Úbeda.

Built in 852 and reconstructed in 1234, the Alcázar served as a military fortress until the Catholic Monarchs ordered its demolition in 1507.

The archaeological discoveries at Alcázar include ceramic artifacts and daily objects that document the transition between Islamic and Christian societies.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages through the excavated medieval structures.

Research at Eras del Alcázar revealed evidence of agricultural practices from the third millennium BC, including the cultivation of naked barley and wheat.
