Castillo de Belmez

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Córdoba is the northernmost of the eight provinces of the Andalusia region of southern spain. Given that Andalusia was the Moorish stronghold during the period of Islamic control of the (most of) the Iberian Peninsula, Córdoba is home to numerous fortresses, many of which are strategically perched on outcrops that dot the region. In this drone video by PFF Drone you'll get an aerial view of one of these fortifications. It's near the town of Belmez, which is situated a bit to the northwest of Córdoba's namesake capital.

¿Sabías que el Castillo de Belmez es considerado uno de los 10 MEJORES CASTILLOS de la provincia de Córdoba? Sin duda, este castillo roquero es uno de los hitos constructivos realmente imprescindibles cuando se visita el Guadiato. ¿Por qué? Quizás, el ser el único castillo visitable de la comarca no sea el único aliciente. Su construcción sobre un macizo rocoso hace que sea visible casi desde gran parte del Valle, obteniendo unas vistas realmente impresionantes desde su punto más alto. Pero no sólo las panorámicas del Castillo de Belmez resultan un atractivo para su visita. El haber sobrevivido a las explotaciones mineras que se realizaron en su base desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del siglo XX han conformado una orografía única para este espectacular superviviente.
