Castillo de Villagarcía de la Torre is a 15th-century Gothic seigneurial fortress located at the edge of Villagarcía de la Torre in Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain, originally promoted by the Duques de Arcos and inherited by Isabel de Guzmán from her mother Beatriz de Figueroa in 1430.

Featuring a rectangular layout with corner square towers, semicylindrical turrets, a grand rectangular Tower of Homage displaying the arms of Luis Ponce de León first lord of the villa antemural remnants, a well, and decorative elements, it transitioned from military stronghold to noble residence. 

sed as a French army hospital during the Peninsular War and later razed by General Morillo in the Carlist Wars, only the prominent tower, partial outer walls, and scattered ruins remain today as a public monument in partial restoration amid ongoing erosion.
