This castle stands on the impressive Alacranejo hill and, despite its primitive defensive nature, it underwent various modifications. In front of it there is another hill with the ruins of the Castillo de Salvatierra, in Calzada de Calatrava.
Probably, it has Arab origin, but it was profoundly remodeled with the transfer of the knights of the Order from the Castle of Calatrava La Vieja (Carrión de Calatrava) in 1217, after the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa with the aim of consolidating the line Sierra Morena defense.
In turn, it is made up of three walled enclosures and is accessed by the original path that was built on the occasion of Philip II's visit through the Iron Gate, in red volcanic stone. Later, we can find the Puerta de los Arcos, which allows us to enter the parlatorio or patio of the convent, the parade ground, the church, the rooms and the refectory. Really, when going through it, you can imagine what happened in those medieval times of fights and prayers, as well as enjoying and expanding your heart with the relaxing landscapes that can be seen from its battlements.

It is worth your visit, it has a large part of the Castle preserved, although in its time it was 4 more stories high, as if the height at which this great castle stands is not enough. It also has impressive views.
