Castle of Medellín, Medieval fortress in Medellín, Spain.
The castle contains a double-walled perimeter with round turrets and reinforcing towers positioned on a strategic hilltop overlooking the Guadiana River.
Originally constructed on a 10th-century Moorish fort site, King Henry II of Castile initiated the construction of the current structure in 1357.
The castle represents medieval Spanish military architecture with its underground reservoir from the 12th century and defensive structures from various periods.
Visitors can access the castle at Subida al Castillo 13 in Medellín, with guided tours conducted exclusively in Spanish throughout the day.
The fortress underwent substantial modifications during the 15th and 16th centuries to incorporate advances in military technology and defensive capabilities.
