빌라누에바 데 라 레이나‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 동굴

Also known as Burgalimar Castle, it is a magnificent example of Andalusian military architecture from the Caliphate period, as it has barely suffered any modifications or damage to its structure.

This impressive building, built in the Town Hall Square of Mengíbar, is the most characteristic and emblematic element of the city. This tower is the only element that is currently preserved from an ancient castle that was located in this place.

Openings intended to place various means of defense from within the fortress to attack the enemy.

From the Torre del Homenaje of Burgalimar Castle, we get these spectacular views of the reservoir that provides drinking water supply to several towns in the area, such as Bailén, Villanueva de la Reina, Andújar among others and Baños de la Encina itself.

Access door to the interior of the fortress where we will find the ticket office to pay the price of the tickets. From €11 we can choose a package that includes a guided tour inside the castle, a visit to the church of San Mateo and later a visit to the Sanctuary of Cristo del Llano. Definitely worth it!

Views from outside the Castle from where we can see the impressive wall that surrounds it and can be seen from several kilometers away.

Today, Burgalimar Castle remains a living testament to the region's history and architecture, and its imposing presence on the Baños de la Encina hill attracts visitors interested in exploring its past and enjoying the panoramic views.

Espeluy is a municipality with multiple populations, but its castle is one of the most characteristic elements there. It comes from the time of the caliphate and currently on the road that goes into the center you can see its walls.
