Castle of Turís, Medieval castle in Turís, Spain.
Castle of Turís is a medieval fortress on a hill southwest of town, composed of defensive walls and a central tower with three stories. The ruins include an outer enclosure that once protected the interior compound.
The fortress began as an Islamic stronghold in the 11th century and served as a strategic military point for centuries. It came under Christian rule in 1238 and was then used as a feudal residence.
The site displays a blend of Islamic and Christian building methods visible in its surviving walls and structures. This layered construction tells of different peoples who lived and built here over time.
The ruins sit on a hillside and are reached via marked paths from the town center. Good walking shoes are recommended since the paths are sometimes uneven and steep.
A 1449 inventory document records what goods and supplies were stored in the fortress. This rare record shows details about how people lived and prepared for defense back then.
