Santa Olalla del Cala Castle is an impressive fortress located in the town of Santa Olalla del Cala, in the province of Huelva, Andalusia. This castle, of Muslim origin, was built in the 13th century and later renovated by the Christians after the Reconquista.

The castle is located in a strategic position, on top of a hill, which allowed it to control the passage between Seville and the Sierra de Aracena. Its structure includes robust walls, defensive towers and a parade ground. The keep is one of the most outstanding elements of the castle, offering panoramic views of the surroundings.

Today, Santa Olalla del Cala Castle is an important tourist attraction and a symbol of the historical heritage of the region. Guided tours are available that allow visitors to explore its corners and learn more about its history and architecture.

The impressive castle of Santa Olalla del Cala sits on a hill 540 meters above sea level. It was built in the 13th century with the purpose of acting as a defense against Portuguese attacks, which is why the Banda Gallega is included within the set of fortresses. It has ten towers that give it an extraordinary appearance. It can be visited on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
