Castillo-fortaleza de Moratalla
Moratalla, Murcia, Spain, Spain
Castillo-fortaleza de Moratalla crowns a rocky hill overlooking the town of Moratalla in Murcia's northwest, Spain, originating as a 9th-century Islamic alcazaba built over Neolithic and Iberian remains to defend Al-Andalus passes toward the Segura Valley.
Conquered by the Order of Santiago in 1212 amid the Reconquista, it was rebuilt in the 15th century with a prominent Gothic Levantine Homage Tower housing a throne hall, well, and armory, surrounded by five towers including Redonda, Blanca, and Los Cuatro Vientos.
This iconic silhouette endures as a cultural landmark amid valleys, drawing visitors for its medieval defensive architecture and panoramic views tied to centuries of frontier conflicts.
