El Castillo de Almodóvar es una fortaleza de origen árabe construida en el año 740. Perteneció al Califato de Córdoba y a las Taifas de Sevilla, Carmona y Toledo. Fue conquistado por Fernando III El Santo 4 años después de conquistar Córdoba. Bajo el reinado de Pedro I El Cruel el castillo sirvió de vivienda, cárcel real y un lugar donde custodiar grandes cantidades de tesoros. En 1629, Felipe IV vende la fortaleza a D. Francisco del Corral y Guzmán. En 1902, D. Rafael Desmaissières y Farina, XII Conde de Torralva encarga la reconstrucción del castillo a su gran amigo y arquitecto D. Adolfo Fernández Casanova. Ésta finalizó en el año 1936, dando como resultado una de las joyas de Andalucía.
A great half-day out. I visited on a Sunday morning and could see the castle perched on top of a hill from some distance as I approached. The box-office staff were very friendly and gave me directions on where I could lunch after my visit. The castle was a ruin which was rebuilt by the then owner with the assistance of an architect historian. There lots to see: Banqueting halls, a dungeon, and battlements to walk along and admire the view of the surrounding countryside. There are also costumes worn by the actors from the television series, game of Thrones, which had some scenes filmed in the castle. Recommended.
