One of my places in Córdoba

Castillo de Luque

Luque

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“Climb at sunset; entry hours are limited (Wednesday–Sunday midday). 15 minutes from Baena and Zuheros.”

The fortress of “Fanthiayri” on a rock above the town of Luque, originally Roman and then an Andalusi stronghold from the 9th century, which fell in 1240 CE. Its view over the olive plains on the slopes of the Sierra Subbética is wide.

Moderate effort, needs a car

A steep climb through the old town's alleys; a large car park at the top of the town.
