Cortegana Castle
The Cortegana Castle is situated on top of a hill, near the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Piedad (Shrine of Our Lady of Merci). From this elevated position there are beautiful views of the Cortegana town and also of the Natural Park.
The Cortegana Castle is the best preserved medieval fortress in the region. We have no data o establish with certainty its origin. Possibly his foundation was from the andalusí period, although its present appearance should be put in relation with the military sponsored bt the Council of Seville in the late thirteenth century to defend the northwest corner of its territory.
