Castillo de Belmonte
The Castillo de Belmonte is a 15th‑century hilltop fortress near the village of Belmonte in Cuenca, Spain, begun in 1456 for Don Juan Pacheco. After periods of abandonment it was restored and updated in the 19th century by Empress Eugenia de Montijo and later restored again; it is now a protected cultural monument open to the public.

As it stood in 1870
The shape it held in its prime.
Massive rectangular stone fortress sited on a dry, grassy hill with broad sloping approaches; thick curtain walls punctuated by regularly spaced crenellations and corbelled machicolations. Several large cylindrical towers anchor the corners and midpoints, each topped by a round battlement platform; the keep rises as a taller rectangular block behind the outer wall. Masonry is warm tan-brown stone with visible coursing; the inner ward contains a courtyard ringed by arcaded brick galleries added during 19th‑century restoration.
