The Castle Ruins of Lanjarón

The Castle of  Lanjarón, locally known as the Moorish Castle, is a small medieval fortress located a quarter mile from the village. It is dominating on a rocky outcrop, the valley of the Lanjarón River, next to the Salado canyon. It is located at 619 meters above sea level and it is formed by two enclosures with some small sections of the outer wall. Signs of a tower are preserved; a bastion square, masonry at its bottom and above a adobe. At the south of the complex is an underground cistern 5.25 x 2.60 m, located, covered with a vault of brickwork .
