The castle of Almodóvar del Río, like many other fortified buildings in Andalusia, contains the history of the passage of different peoples through the territory. It is probable that its origin was a Roman fort. The current building has Berber roots and later medieval modifications.

The castle of Almodóvar del Río, also called Castillo de la Floresta, located on the mount called "El Redondo", is an Andalusian fortress located in the town of Almodóvar del Río, province of Córdoba. Previously it was a Roman fort and the current building definitely has Berber origin, from the year 760.
