Castillo Almodovar del Rio

By chance we stopped and spent a wonderful time. The castle is beautifully restored and offers much to see and explore. Lots of references to Game of Thrones filming. We saw some groups with guides in costumes - they were having a splendid time. Wonderful views from the many towers. Very welcoming atmosphere.

An absolutely stunning castle set high above the valley — the views alone are worth the trip. The restoration is impressive and lets you wander the towers, ramparts and courtyards in what feels like a living piece of history. We arrived mid‑week and found it pleasantly quiet, which made the experience even more memorable. A must‑visit if you’re in the area, especially for fans of medieval architecture or cinematic history (yes, the castle was used in filming). One tip: wear comfortable shoes — there are quite a few stairs and uneven surfaces. Highly recommend to visit 👌🏼

One of the best destinations I visited in Andalusia! We went without the guide just on our own, it was just a few people, so most of the time we could enjoy the castle alone. I loved that they created multiple expositions to entertain the visitors. Despite the fact they were not authentic, it created an atmosphere. Much more enjoyable than many medieval castles I visited.

Cool castle. They should fix the hours on here tho. Driving for 2 hours to get there, to arrive 56 minutes before the google hours say they close, only for them to say they stop selling tickets an hour before close, was very annoying. It’s 4 minutes.

We visited the Castillo de Almodóvar, just outside of Córdoba, and really enjoyed it. The castle is extremely well taken care of—beautiful, clean, and full of interesting spots to explore. It sits high above the valley, so the views alone are worth the visit. A note for anyone with mobility issues: there are steep areas, stairs, and uneven paths. If you park at the bottom, you can pay for a bus that takes you up. We chose to walk up and back down the hill, and it was totally fine, but it is a bit of a climb. Overall, a great stop—very scenic, well-preserved, and fun to explore.

A beautiful castle perched on top of a hill, very well preserved. Scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed here. The site is large and well worth the entrance fee, which I recommend purchasing in advance through the official website.

Beautiful castle with rich history. Not only is it affordable and easy to get to from Cordoba/Sevilla but it was quiet when we arrived. To step foot in such a historic place was incredible. For some of the towers it’s a bit tiring to climb all the steps, but well worth it. The day we arrived they were not holding events, so if you get the chance to go, try and attend one of their special events too! We bought tickets in advance, which isn’t required but made entering a breeze. Easy parking, easy to find (very visible from a distance). Highly recommended!

The Almodovar Castle built by the Moors in 760, significantly renovated in 20th century. It’s situated in Almodovar town, about 20km away from Cordoba. To get here, either taking bus M-250 or driving. Bus is a very economical way that costs 2.15 euros one way for now. There are multiple departures between Cordoba and Almodovar for both directions. The castle is beautiful and the view is stunning, you don’t want to miss it if you visit Cordoba. FYI: 10 euros for the entrance of the castle. Also, prepare some coins to purchase tickets from the bus driver if you wanted to take buses, notice POS is installed so assume credit cards would work.
