Eagles Castle (in Spanish El Castillo Del Aguila) is a fortress near village of Gauchin. The strategic position of the village was appreciated by the Romans who settled in the area building a fortress on the mountain top. This fortification was subsequently expanded during the Moorish occupation The name is derived from the eagles circling the towers and indeed smaller birds of prey tend to nest in the castle`s thick walls.
