    Tabernas Castle, built in the 11th century, is one of the most important Nasrid fortresses in Almería. Located high on a hill, it offers spectacular views over the Tabernas Desert and preserves part of its walls despite centuries of neglect and destruction. The Catholic Monarchs stayed here and the Capitulations of Almería were signed in 1489, giving it great historical significance. Access is free, and although the site is in ruins, comfortable shoes are recommended to explore it and enjoy the unique surrounding landscape.

      The best thing about Castillo Tabernas is the indescribable view of the Tabernas Desert

        The ruins of a once-mighty castle currently dominate the village.

        However, reports indicate that it was already in a severely dilapidated state in 1522.
