The Castle of Almodóvar, of Andalusian origin dating from 741, was conquered in 1240 by Fernando III. Its present-day image combines styles from the 10th to the 14th centuries, with its Gothic-Mudejar towers standing out. At the beginning of the 20th century, Rafael Desmaissieres y Farina, 12th Count of Torralva, rescued it from ruin under the direction of the architect Adolfo Fernández Casanova.
A key witness to history, the castle defended Cordoba and controlled routes. It was the residence of Peter I the Cruel in the 14th century, and a base for the reconquest of Granada. After centuries of abandonment, its major reconstruction has made it one of the best-preserved castles in Spain, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. It offers themed visits, medieval events and combat training. It has been the setting for productions such as the series "Game of Thrones".
