Castillo de Zueros

The castle stands atop a limestone cliff, featuring a rectangular tower, defensive walls, and Renaissance palace additions within the urban center.

Built during the 9th century Muslim rule, the fortress was conquered by King Ferdinand III in 1240 and underwent Renaissance modifications in the 16th century.

The structure contains an Islamic water cistern and demonstrates the architectural evolution from Muslim fortification to Christian noble residence through centuries.

Visitors can reach the castle through the old town streets and combine their visit with the nearby Church of Los Remedios.

The castle's tower served as a clock tower from 1760 until 1960, when the timepiece was relocated to the church facade.
