    It was erected by the Muslims, and during their occupation it was already a strategic enclave in communications between Mérida, Seville, Córdoba, Almadén and Toledo. The town of Capilla and its castle were conquered in 1226 by King Ferdinand III of Castilla y León, who donated it to the Knights Templar in 1236, after the conquest of Córdoba.
    Its structure has survived to the present day, although its condition is in ruins.

    Templar castle and Muslim ruins with views of the La Serena reservoir (when it has water).

    Today, the castle is not only not in ruins (it has been restored), but for me it is one of the best preserved in the area, and can be visited. In the mornings it is open for a few hours, it has a well-preserved cistern that is interesting to see, the views, especially with the reservoir full of water, are spectacular.
