Castillo Templario de Fregenal de la Sierra
Fregenal de la Sierra, Spain, Spain
Castillo Templario de Fregenal de la Sierra is a 13th-century fortress built by the Knights Templar in Fregenal de la Sierra, Badajoz province, Extremadura, Spain, after King Fernando III's conquest donated the site to the order around 1283 as a strategic Reconquista outpost.
The polygonal plain castle features seven towers - six square and one pentagonal with defensive loopholes, merlons, and a standout Torre del Homenaje boasting a pointed arch gateway, matacán overhang, and 18th-century bell tower displaying the Templar cross amid Gothic elements.
Repurposed over time with a bullring added in 1781, French reconstructions in 1808, and a modernist market in 1913, the well-preserved ruins blend military might with civic functions as a historic landmark.
