Castillo de Salobreña crowns a 73-meter hill above the coastal town of Salobreña in Granada province, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Built during the Nasrid dynasty in the 10th-15th centuries, it served as both a summer palace for Granada's sultans and a strategic fortress. The castle features a sophisticated Nasrid design with palatial quarters, bathhouse, and multiple enclosures reflecting the refined aesthetic of the Alhambra. Following Catholic Monarchs' conquest in 1489, Christian fortifications were added to accommodate artillery. Archaeological excavations continue to reveal its rich past, including remnants of the Nasrid palace discovered in 2014-2015.
