This medieval fortress dates from the 13th century and its origin is still not completely clear, although it can be assumed that due to its shape and type of construction, its character was originally defensive. You can visit the inside and also the views from the path on the outside are very picturesque. For more info visit the official website (castillodecortegana.net/)

A fortress of medieval origin that is part of the so-called Banda Gallega, military fortifications that were built to protect the lands of Seville from Portuguese incursions. Wonderful experience with beautiful views and magnificent conservation of the castle. An emblematic place.
