Castle of Almansa

Monument · Almansa, Monte Ibérico-Corredor de Almansa, Albacete

A fortress raised on the limestone crag of the Cerro del Águila overlooking the city. Almohad in origin and built of rammed earth in the 12th century, it was remodelled by Don Juan Manuel in the 14th century and took on its present appearance under Juan Pacheco, 1st Marquis of Villena, in the 15th century. It was declared a Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional (Spain's heritage designation in force between 1931 and 1985) in 1921.
