C° del Castillo de Malvecino
Spain, Spain
C° del Castillo de Malvecino refers to the ruins of a temporary medieval fortress on Malvecino hill near Alcalá la Vieja in central Spain, constructed around 1118 by Christian forces under Archbishop Bernardo de Sedirac of Toledo during the siege to conquer the Muslim stronghold.
Strategically chosen for its flat terraces, commanding views, and defensive potential, it featured walls and structures documented in archaeological surveys revealing medieval pottery and construction remnants that supported troops blockading enemy supply lines.
Abandoned after the successful Christian victory and later eroded, these evocative remains highlight tactical brilliance in the Reconquista era amid Madrid's contested frontier landscapes.
