Castelo de Miraflores
Spain, Spain
Castelo de Miraflores, also known as Castillo de Alconchel or Miraflores Castle, is a 12th-century medieval fortress atop Miraflores hill in Alconchel, Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain, near the Portuguese border.
Of Islamic origin with Christian occupation mid-12th century, recaptured by Almohads in 1196, and reassigned to the Order of Calatrava in 1212, it features robust walls, towers, and commanding plains views reflecting classic military architecture amid Reconquista conflicts.
Transformed in the 15th century into a noble residence, the ruins preserve its defensive legacy as a strategic frontier stronghold blending Muslim and Christian modifications.
