The Aguila Castle stands on a mound of 688 meters above sea level in the town of Gaucin, Malaga province, and from it you can see wonderful views of the Genal valley. The fortress presents a set of irregular plant formed by three walled enclosures. Access to the outer enclosure is through two gates. The main gate is the eastern one, giving access to the side of the Genal valley. It is formed by two arches. The first of them, and larger, is a pointed arch built in brick and with lateral arrow slits, seated on limestone rocks. On this arch are superimposed ashlars in courses of the same type that make up the outer wall behind which is the walkway. The second arch, deeper and semicircular, also with brick voussoirs with a thick layer of mortar, has a framed alfiz. On the back of the upper arch the first walled canvas of the enclosure is superimposed. The other door is located in the north side; it is of similar construction and presents arrow slits. The access to the enclosure presents a pronounced ascent with staggered sections and very irregular pavement. In the interior of the enclosure is the Hermitage of the Santo Niño. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
