Fuerte morisco "Fábrica de los moros"
Spain, Spain
The Fuerte morisco "Fábrica de los moros" refers to a small Morisco defensive fortification or watchpost from the 16th century, likely associated with remnants of rebel strongholds during the Alpujarras Wars (1568-1571 and 1568-1570) in Granada province, Andalusia, Spain.
Constructed by Moriscos—Muslim converts to Christianity facing repression—as a guerrilla outpost amid rugged sierras for resistance against Spanish royal forces, it exemplifies simple masonry structures used for surveillance, shelter, and brief combat before the community's expulsion between 1609-1614 under Philip III.
Today, such sites survive as archaeological ruins, offering insights into the Moriscos' desperate mountain defenses and the era's ethnic-religious conflicts.
