Burgalimar Castle, located in Baños de la Encina, Spain, is one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in Europe. Dating back to the 10th century, this Moorish fortress was built during the reign of the Caliphate of Córdoba. It is characterized by its robust, rectangular structure and a series of thirteen towers that surround the perimeter, providing a glimpse into the architectural ingenuity of the time. The castle played a significant role throughout the Reconquista and was later expanded and modified by Christian forces.
