Tiny Tour | Castle of Almodovar Spain | Visit a 1260-year old Medieval Castle in Cordoba | 2021 Oct

Castillo de Almodóvar del Río (Hisnu-l-mudawar; "the round castle") is a castle of Muslim origin in the town of Almodóvar del Río, Province of Córdoba, Spain. Previously a Roman fort, the current structure is of Moorish origin, in the year 760. During the Middle Ages, it underwent several renovations and reconstructions.

Between 1901 and 1936, it was restored by the owner Raphael Desmaissiers, 12th Count of Torravala, under the technical direction of the architect Adolfo Fernández Casanova. Close to 6,000m3 of stone from different quarries was used throughout the entire restoration. during the reconstruction period the Count of Torralva brought many years of economic stability to the town of Almodovar owing to the 240,000 in labour wages he invested in the works.

Unfortunately, neither the architect of the project, Don Adolfo Fernandez Casanova, nor the Count of Torralva himself would live to see their project completed, with both passing away in 1915 and 1932 respectively.
