Burgalimar Castle
Burgalimar Castle is a fortified enclosure in Baños de la Encina, Jaén Province, Spain, originally built under the Umayyad Caliphate. The site comprises an elongated irregular curtain wall with fifteen towers and two main gates, enclosing an inner ward that contained a cistern and ancillary buildings. The larger semi-circular Torre del Homenaje was added in the 15th century.

Elongated irregular stone enclosure roughly 100 by 50 metres, ringed by fifteen closely spaced square or rectangular towers of pale local masonry, with one larger semi‑rounded tower (the Torre del Homenaje) rising above the northern side. Two entrance gates puncture the wall (north and south/southeast); the southern gate is a straight passage with visible horseshoe arches set between two towers and chambers above with floor slots. Inside are an inner ward, a cistern and foundations of buildings.
