Also known as "Castillo de los Moros", it was built in the 13th century and its bare remains restored at the end of the 20th century.

Lanjarón Castle, also known as the Moorish Castle, is a medieval fortress located in the town of Lanjarón, in the province of Granada. It is located about 400 metres from the centre of Lanjarón, on a rocky promontory overlooking the valley of the Lanjarón River.

Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, during the Nasrid and Christian periods, it was part of the defensive programme of the sultans Yusuf I and Mohammad V. Although in ruins, the castle has been protected and restored on several occasions. Since 1993, it has been listed as a Site of Cultural Interest.
