Castillo de Luna
Rota, Spain, Spain
Castillo de Luna is a 13th-century Gothic fortress in Rota, Cádiz province, Andalusia, Spain, constructed around 1295 by Alfonso Pérez de Guzmán "el Bueno" on the site of an earlier Muslim ribat or fortified convent, granted as part of the señorío by King Sancho IV.
The robust structure features five crenellated towers, thick walls blending Gothic arches with Arabic horseshoe influences, a spacious arms courtyard now serving as the town hall's Patio de Armas, and defensive elements adapted over centuries by noble families like the Ponce de León.
Beautifully restored and freely accessible on the ground floor, it anchors Rota's historic core near the Church of Nuestra Señora de la O, symbolizing the town's layered Christian-Muslim heritage amid its naval base prominence.
