Castillo Miraflores (Piedrabuena)
Spain, Spain
Castillo Miraflores (Piedrabuena) in Piedrabuena, Ciudad Real province, Spain, is a frontier fortress of Almohad origin rapidly constructed between 1196 and 1197 using rammed earth walls with false ashlar decoration, exemplifying official Islamic military architecture on a rocky spur.
Conquered by Christians in 1212 after the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, it became an Order of Calatrava encomienda with minor adaptations before abandonment in the mid-13th century favoring the nearby Castillo de Mortara.
The polygonal enclosure with a prominent 17-meter prismatic tower now stands as atmospheric ruins open to visitors, revealing layers of Reconquista-era conflict through archaeological study.
