Alarcos Castle

More than just the castle, I would talk about the rich, historic archeological site of Alarcos, because this headland (besides the castle) has been inhabited since the Bronze Ages. Through the years, there has been numerous populations living in this land, with deconstructions, reconstructions, etc.

Having said that, the castle of Alarcos and the Battle of Alarcos, where the Moorish troops gave a lesson on strategy to the Christian troops led by Alfonso VIII of Castilla during the reconquest are what this land is known for.

The positioning of the site is strategic, as it watches over the fertile valleys where the waters of the Guadiana river flow by, as well as a great part of the prairies of Calatrava.
