Cordova


This Gothic Castle in the town of Belalcázar, in the province of Cordova, Andalusia, also known as Castle of Sotomayor, was built in the 15th century when the king John II of Castile granted these lands to Guitierre de Sotomayor to govern them as Count of Belalcázar. Although the castle is not quite well preserved, it still remarkable its central keep 75 m. high, its cistern and stables, and its extensive underground dungeon.
