Through the Courtyard "Plaza de Armas" you access the old town of Castellar, with narrow zigzag streets decorated with always fresh plant-pots and flower beds. Visiting this is to immerse yourself in the past and get reacquainted with history and with the oldest traditions of Andalusia

The buildings we see today are a mixture of constructions from different periods of time. The oldest ones are from the XIII century. The walls have flaking towers and some of them are crowned with battlements.

Big walls were built around this medieval fortification that has been a site of human settlement for different cultures over the centuries, to protect the city from potential aggressors.

The Castle was declared "Bien de Interés Cultural" in 1949 and "Monumento Histórico Artístico" in 1963.

The complex configuration and the difficult access to natural resources led to the construction of a new Castellar in 1971, the so-called "Nuevo Pueblo de Castellar"
