---

Castillo de Montealegre del Castillo is a trapezoidal 14th-century fortress in Montealegre del Castillo, Albacete province, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, likely built by Alfonso de Meneses on earlier Arab foundations from the 10th century, featuring a distinctive pentagonal tower with Gothic floral motifs accessed via a pointed door.

Never conquered despite multiple sieges, it sheltered Comuneros rebels during the 1520s Wars of the Communities and remained tied to local lords amid Reconquista border defenses. Its robust walls and towers stand unconquered historically, overlooking the town named for this enduring symbol of medieval power.
