    One of the best preserved specimens in the region and that is how they try to keep it by avoiding major restoration works.
    The castle is of Andalusian origin and its architecture clearly indicates this. It has a rectangular floor plan with a 2-storey tower surrounded by a central square and the main access door that bears the Casa de Arcos coat of arms.

    Gigonza Castle is a medieval fortress of Muslim origin located in the province of Cádiz, in the municipality of San José del Valle. It was built on the ruins of an ancient Roman city called Saguntia, which means “fort.” The castle has a square plan with two sections, a keep with dungeons, a parade ground with a dovecote and a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Next to the castle are the remains of sulfur water baths that were very popular for their healing properties.
