Castillo Fuente Úbeda, Medieval castle in Carcabuey, Spain
The castle stands on a rocky hill with a triangular layout and five towers, including three semicircular and two rectangular defensive structures.
The original structure from the 9th century was destroyed in 892 by Emir Abd Allah's troops, leading to reconstruction during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The castle includes the Virgen del Castillo hermitage, built in the late 18th century and reconstructed in 1952 after earthquake damage.
The castle remains in ruins but remains open to visitors, featuring a south-facing gate that served as an escape route during sieges.
A Roman cistern exists outside the fortress, with discussions about a potential underground passage connecting it to the castle structure.
