As it stood in 1325

What Castle of Almansa looked like in its prime.

Perched directly on a jagged pale limestone outcrop, the plan is dominated by a tall, rectangular stone keep rising above continuous crenellated curtain walls. The curtain has regular merlons and a protected wall-walk, with a prominent rounded gate tower at the approach and an arched entrance through the curtain. Masonry is light beige and rough-faced ashlar, walls step down the rock, and the whole fortress appears complete with battlements and narrow vertical slits for defence.

Its story

The story of Castle of Almansa.

The Castle of Almansa crowns a prominent limestone crag rising above the town of Almansa, in the Province of Albacete. The medieval fortress is dominated by a tall rectangular keep, with continuous crenellated curtain walls following the line of the rock and a rounded gate tower controlling the approach.

The castle was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1921, placing it among Spain's protected heritage monuments. The fortified complex has since been restored, and its keep, battlemented walls and gate tower still stand over the town.
