Background
Panorama of Castillo de Almodovar del Río - Córdoba, Spain (Almodóvar castle).
Almodóvar del Río is located in the province of Córdoba, in the Guadalquivir lowland region, Andalucía. The village has around 7.700 habitants. The name Almodóvar goes back to the 9th century when it was named by the arabs Almudawar Al-Adna (Almudawar: the round. Al-Adna: by the river), referring to the round hill where the impressive fortress Castle of Almodóvar was built, and the river of Guadalquivir. Through history several civilizations, as Neolithic, Iberian, Roman, Visigoth and Arab, have lived in this area.
The castle is an arabic construcion from 740, built in stone on old Paleothic foundations and it remained under musulman rule until conquered by D. Fernando III “El Santo” in the 13th century. Through time it has served as as military fortress and royal prison as well as financial deposit (to buy Fuente Obejuna in early 1513) and has even has got its own legend, the Legend of Zaida from 1091, telling the story about queen Zaida, who is said to be seen in the Homage tower each March 28th in search for her murdered husband.
The castle has undergone several ampliations and restorations, the most important ones made by Count de Torralba started in 1903 and ended in 1936, due to the Civil War.
Since1629 the castle has belonged to the same family and offers today guided tours and theatrical visits, among other things, inviting the public to discover the beauty and the mystery of its towers and walls, the Weapons Courtyard and its underground elements.
