Castillo de Miraflores, Medieval castle in Piedrabuena, Spain.

The Miraflores Castle stands on a rocky spur of Sierra de las Doradas, with a polygonal layout covering 1250 square meters of space.

The fortress, dating from the 9th century during the Umayyad period, fell to Almohad forces in 1196 before returning to Calatrava Order in 1212.

The structure represents Islamic military architecture with its characteristic false ashlar work on rammed earth walls, contrasting with later Christian modifications.

Located 3 kilometers northwest of Piedrabuena, the castle remains open for visits without admission fees throughout the year.

The fortification features a 17-meter-high prismatic tower at its northwest corner, reinforced with volcanic stone blocks at its edges.
