Segura de la Sierra
Spain, Spain
Segura de la Sierra is a picturesque white village in Jaén province, Andalusia, Spain, perched on a hilltop in the Sierra de Segura natural park, renowned for its medieval castle and olive groves.
The site traces back to Roman times but flourished under Muslim rule from the 8th century, when a fortress protected the settlement, evolving into a key Almohad stronghold with walls and a medina by the 12th century.
Conquered by Christians in 1241 under Ferdinand III and granted to the Order of Santiago, its 13th-14th century castle features double enclosures, a trapezoidal alcazarejo with four towers including a square keep, Arab baths, a chapel, and rock-hewn wells, offering stunning panoramic views as a restored interpretation center today.
