El Castillo de Zuheros is a historic fortress in the small municipality of Zuheros. The castle sits spectacularly on a rocky outcrop and has become a landmark of the region. The castle's origins date back to the Moors in the 9th century. It was strategically built on a limestone cliff to control and defend the region. Its location made it almost impregnable. From here, Zuheros Castle rises majestically above the village, nestled into a cliff. The castle appears to be one with the landscape, as it is integrated directly into the limestone.
