Castillo de Lebrija

Castillo de Lebrija stands on the highest elevation of the town of Lebrija in Seville province, commanding the landscape since medieval times. Built upon a Roman foundation in the Almohad period (early 13th century), the fortress underwent significant reconstruction during the 14th and 15th centuries following Christian Reconquest. The castle held strategic importance for controlling the Guadalquivir River corridor during Muslim rule and the Christian period. Though time has claimed much of the structure, two defensive towers and sections of protective walls remain visible today. Designated a Cultural Heritage Asset in 1985, the castle's ruins anchor the town's historical identity and offer insight into Andalusia's complex medieval past.
