Castillo de Fuentes

Fuentes de Andalucía, Spain, Spain

---

Castillo de Fuentes in Fuentes de Andalucía, Seville province, Andalucía, Spain, encompasses two key medieval fortifications: Castillo del Hierro and Castillo de la Monclova, both of Moorish origin from the Islamic period before the 13th-century Christian Reconquista.

The centrally located Castillo del Hierro, restored in the 14th-15th centuries and granted by Alfonso XI to Alvar Pérez de Guzmán, now blends into modern constructions while preserving its defensive perimeter, whereas the northern Castillo de la Monclova—enduring Benimerín invasions and noble feuds—retains a prominent tower as a Dukes of Infantado property used for agriculture.

These castles highlight the town's strategic role in Carmona's territory, later forming the modern municipality through 19th-century señoríos merger amid a landscape of baroque churches and Roman circus-shaped plazas.
