The Castillo de Almodóvar del Río castle, which receives thousands of visits each year, held a significant strategic importance as it was situated on a hill 827 feet above sea level and next to the Guadalquivir river, which can be wonderfully viewed from there. With a Berber origin and situated in Sierra Morena, the current fortress was built in year 760 and has been a temporary home for different settlers and background to numerous historical events.

The Cordovan castle recreates Highgarden, home of House Tyrell, in epidodes 3 and 4 of the seventh season of ‘Game of Thrones’. Jaime Lannister attends the castle with his army, after tricking the Unsullied, to conquer the castle and end with Olenna, the Queen of Thorns.
