It was the year 711 when the Muslims entered the Peninsula and began the conquest of what was called Al-Andalus, reaching as far as the Duero and Ebro valleys.
However, around the year 1030, their power weakened so much that the Christian kings began an offensive to recover the conquered lands. Thus a powerful defensive system was created to prevent the recovery of the lands by the Muslims, based on a wide range of large castles, watchtowers and fortresses, as is the case of the Castle of Alcaudete.
The Castle of Alcaudete was part of the defense belt that King Ferdinand III the Saint entrusted for the protection of the western border of the Kingdom of Jaén against the Nasrid kingdom of Granada. It was built between the XIII and XIV centuries.
This castle has had several stages throughout its life, which have impregnated its walls with legends and stories, memories and adventures, which have left their mark on its structure and that make the monumental complex possess a unique beauty that does not leave its visitors indifferent.
