Medellín Castle

Medellín Castle

Although its recent past is Christian, the origin of the Medellín Castle is Moslem, which can clearly be seen in the structure of this fortress which has been declared a cultural heritage site.

The Medellín Castle stands on a hill near the Guadiana river between Mérida and La Serena. The first documents found concerning this castle refer to the Moslem period in the 12th century, with a splendid double cistern preserved from this time. Later on, in the 13th century, this fortress was occupied by the Christians under the leadership of Ferdinand III. Shortly afterwards the castle was completely destroyed to be rebuilt in the 15th century by the Count of Medellín, Don Rodrigo Portocarrero.
