View of Castillo de Jódar
Highlight • Castle
The castle has its origins in the 8th century during the Emirate. It has gone through several phases, with important constructions during the Almoravid and Almohad periods, as well as Gothic modifications to the towers of homage.
The castle is located on the slope of Cerro San Cristóbal and is surrounded by the town of Jódar. It has two main towers, the Torre Norte and the Torre Sur, with dimensions of 15.30 x 12.60 metres and 13.50 x 12.40 metres respectively. The castle also had a large water reservoir, an aljibe, for water supply.
In 2012, restoration and rehabilitation work was carried out to restore the castle and use it as a museum. The Torre Norte now houses the Centro de Interpretación de la Historia de Jódar, opened in 2013, while the Torre Sur houses the Visitor Centre of the Parque Natural de Sierra Mágina.
