Castillo de Tabernas is a ruined castle on the outskirts of the municipality of Tabernas, Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It was built in the 11th century during the time of Arab domination. It is of Moorish style and is situated on top of a hill.
When it was built, the castle occupied the entire hill, though currently only a part is preserved. In 1993, it was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural monument.
The castle holds historic significance from the time of the siege of Almeria, when Ferdinand and Isabella ensconced themselves in the fortress.
