Castillo de Salvaleón
Spain, Spain
Castillo de Salvaleón is a medieval fortress of Arabic origin located on a hill east of the village of Salvaleón in Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain.
Built as a defensive stronghold during the Muslim period, it played a strategic role in the Reconquista conflicts between Moors and Christians, with construction or major works dated around 1190 under Alfonso IX to control nearby areas like Salvatierra de los Barros.
Today, the ruins feature remnants of walls and towers amid scenic pastures used for Iberian pig breeding, offering hiking opportunities with panoramic views and ties to local legends of Moorish knights and civil war guerrillas.
