Andalusia Tour ~ Cadiz (Region) The remains of the medieval Al-Andalus Castle in Jimena de la Frontera stand on a hill in the Sierra San Cristóbal and were used as a watchtower on the old border. Some elements of the castle fortress are fairly well preserved: the walls adapted to the terrain, and the corresponding towers or watchtowers. The so-called bell tower, or Albaran, and the Alcázar, were renovated after the conquest by the Kingdom of Castile and dominated by a circular castle. Behind the castle we found the “Baths of the Moorish Queen” which is actually the baptistery of an ancient Mozarabic church dug out of the rock. Several excavated niches were also found nearby, which may have belonged to another simple but ancient Mozarabic church. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
