Free visit. I think it would be more interesting if we could have taken a guided tour

Magacela Castle is a medieval castle located in Magacela. It is located on the top of a rocky hill, from where it dominates the plains of La Serena. The castle was built in the 10th century by the Arabs, and was later expanded and renovated by the Christians. The fortress consists of three enclosures, the first of which is the oldest and is located in the eastern part of the hill. The second enclosure is smaller and is located in the western part. The third enclosure is the largest and houses the Torre del Homenaje, which is the highest part of the castle. Magacela Castle has been the scene of numerous historical events, among which the imprisonment of Don Alonso de Monroy, the last master of the Order of Alcántara, in the 15th century stands out. The castle is in good condition and is one of the main tourist attractions in the La Serena region. We couldn't see its interior because it was getting dark, it remains pending. It is not accessible for people with reduced mobility. Outdoor. Visitable all year round. Gratuitous. Parking in the town is not easy. It can be left at the entrance to the town.

A beautiful place to visit, with incredible views. Whenever I pass by I love to visit it and spend a couple of hours. It's a shame that it's somewhat abandoned. The last time there was a lot of garbage inside the closed areas and the old cemetery full of quite tall weeds. I still recommend the visit ?.

Spectacular place. You can see the castle from miles around and that’s why I visited it! It was not on my touring route but I love castles and this is a special one. Good for the EU helping to reform it
