Castillo de Juslibol, Medieval castle ruins in Juslibol, Spain.

The fortress stands on a hill near the Ebro River, featuring remaining sections of defensive walls and a partially vaulted water cistern.

Built in the 11th century as a Muslim outpost named Mezi Meeger, the castle became crucial during the Christian reconquest of Zaragoza in 1118.

The name Juslibol derives from the Crusader battle cry 'Deus lo vol', meaning 'God wills it' in medieval Latin.

The castle remains are accessible through the rural neighborhood of Juslibol, located northwest of Zaragoza's city center.

The fortress served as a key observation point in a 25-kilometer defensive line protecting the ancient city of Saraqusta.
