Castillo de Castellar de la Frontera

Castillo de Castellar, Spain, Spain

Castillo de Castellar de la Frontera, also known as Castillo de Castellar, is a 13th-century Nasrid Moorish fortress uniquely enveloping an entire living whitewashed village in Castellar de la Frontera, Cádiz province, Andalusia, Spain, within Los Alcornocales Natural Park.

Perched on a steep hill between the Guadarranque and Hozgarganta rivers, it features an irregular walled enclosure with barbican towers, loopholes, and a grand entrance gate, serving as a strategic Reconquista border stronghold before becoming the Counts of Castellar's residence.

Declared a historic-artistic monument in 1963 and one of Spain's most beautiful villages since 2019, its narrow flower-lined streets house artisan shops, a Baroque church, and town hall amid panoramic views, preserving a rare inhabited medieval enclave.
