Castillo de Trujillo

Monument · Trujillo, Comarca de Trujillo, Cáceres

Fortress built between the 9th and 12th centuries on the hill known as Cabeza del Zorro, when the comarca was under the rule of a Berber tribe; its oldest surviving remains are two Arab cisterns. Taken by Christian forces in the 13th century, it suffered damage during the War of Independence, the Carlist Wars, and the Civil War. It was declared a Monumento Nacional in 1925.
