background
The small town Almodovar del Río is about 22 km southwest of Cordoba also on the Guadalquivir. According to excavations, it was settled in the Stone Age, and later a Roman oppidum stood here. It was under Moorish rule until the Reconquista. The name also comes from this time (Al-Muddawar means "The Round" and is an allusion to the prominent hill on which today's castle is located).
There is a medieval old town to see in the lively town center, but most visitors avoid visiting it and head straight to the towering castle complex.
