Tabernas Castle was built in the 11th century under Arab rule. It was one of the most important fortresses in Almería. When it was built, it occupied the entire top of the hill and guarded an important route between Almería and Murcia.

High on a hill with beautiful distant views lie the remains of a once mighty castle. At the moment the ruins are still not easy to reach but you will no longer be fired upon as you climb the hill in the hot Spanish sun ;-) Entrance is free
