View of Calatrava la Vieja Castle

Highlight • Castle

The visitable site of Calatrava la Vieja was an Islamic fortification located in the municipality of Carrión de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), about 6.5 km north of the urban area of Carrión and 13 km. northeast of Ciudad Real.
An important defensive system was the course of the river, with a much greater flow in the Middle Ages, which turned the place into a true island between the waters. The wall is surrounded by forty-four towers, and the singular corachas, designed to supply the city with water if it was surrounded.
