El Castillo de Zuheros is a historic fortress in the small municipality of Zuheros. The castle sits spectacularly on a rock and has become a landmark of the region.

El Castillo de Zuheros stands spectacularly on a rock and offers impressive views of the Sierra Subbética. The castle is a major landmark in 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. It was part of a network of castles designed to secure Moorish influence in Andalusia. In 1240, Zuheros was conquered by the troops of Ferdinand III of Castile. The castle passed into Christian ownership and was integrated into the kingdom's defensive structure. With the end of its military importance in the region, after the conquest of Granada in 1492, the castle began to decline in importance. Parts of the complex were destroyed by earthquakes and neglect over the centuries. In 1964, the towers were reconstructed as they can be seen in their current form. The ruins of the castle are now one of the main attractions of Zuheros and can be visited.

The remains date from two different periods. The massive, crenellated square tower is of Moorish origin, while the remains of the Renaissance palace date from the 16th century. At the same time, the Plaza de la Paz offers a natural viewpoint (622m), with shooting views** over the hills with their carpet of olive groves and Baena in the background.

The donkeys really seem to have a good life here.

The viewpoint gives you impressive views of the canyon formed by the Bailón River and the town of Zuheros.

Construction located in the highest rocky part of the town whose purpose was to protect against any external invasion, whose views are worth enjoying.

Tower that is at the top of the town of Rute, where you can see the whole of the center and the spaces that are around it. The way up to the tower is beautiful and worth it!
