Castillo de Caudete is a 12th-century medieval fortress in Albacete, Castile-La Mancha, Spain, originally constructed by the Almohads when they arrived in Al-Andalus. Following the War of the Two Pedros between Aragón and Castile in 1356, the castle was extensively repaired under the direction of Henry of Trastamara, and its current appearance reflects 14th and 15th-century reconstruction. The fortress features a polygonal plan with thick defensive walls and an impressive tower of homage, maintaining much of its medieval perimeter layout. Today the castle stands integrated within Caudete's historic town center near the parish church of Santa Catalina, serving as a heritage symbol of the locality and representing the region's strategic military importance during medieval border conflicts.
