It is a fortress of Arab origin, although over time it has become a symbol of the defensive border architecture of medieval times. Lorca's castle is elongated and its plan is polygonal. One of the most representative aspects of this construction are its towers: the Torre del Espolón and the Torre Alfonsina.

Undoubtedly the icon of the city of Lorca and that was once a demonstration of power against the Moorish empire established in Granada. Also known by the name of Fortress of the Sun, today you can see a reconstruction of the original which, with its walls, used to be the fortress that somehow marked the border with the Moors. The Castle can be visited (check the official website) it can even be seen from the highway that later passes under it. A site with great historical value that marks an era and is worth visiting.
