Iconic castle visible from far away and from all directions, since it is located on a large limestone rock that presides over the town of Belmez. You can access the castle by stairs and contemplate the infinite views that you have from above.

Belmez Castle is a historic fortress located in Belmez. It stands majestically on a high limestone rock, offering a stunning view of the village and surrounding areas.
The castle dates back to at least 1245, with significant additions made in the 15th century. It played an important role during the Reconquista and was occupied by French troops during the Peninsular War (1810-1812). The castle features a pentagonal Keep, six semicircular towers and a zigzag staircase leading up to it.
If you're planning a visit, it's open daily and admission is free.

Situated on an imposing rock is the 13th century Belmez castle. Climb the steep hill for a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
