Castell de Cabrera, Medieval castle on Cabrera Island, Balearic Islands, Spain

The hexagonal fortress stands 72 meters above sea level at the eastern point of the natural harbor entrance of Cabrera Island.

The first documented reference to the castle dates from 1410, with construction estimated to have taken place during the second half of the 14th century.

Spanish authorities designated the castle as a Bien de Interés Cultural, recognizing its status as a national heritage monument within the Balearic archipelago.

Access to the castle requires a boat trip from Mallorca, with guided tours available through the Cabrera National Park administration office.

Turkish corsair Turgut captured the island in 1550, seized the castle's artillery, and completely destroyed the structure, leading to its reconstruction in 1698.
