TARIFA
The southernmost fortress in Spain, Castillo de Guzmán el Bueno, and the scene of innumerable historical battles and events, was registered as a Bien de Interés Cultural de Andalucía on June 29, 1985. The date therefore marks the 25th anniversary of its protection. According to the register, the castle was used for military purposes from 912 and 1035. The register's data base tells us that it dates from the 10th century, as it says on a carved commemorative stone that still exists, and is thus the oldest in the area. Only part of the castle is presently open to the public, as archaeological digs and studies are being carried out in the other part. In fact, Roman remains were found recently in the central square.
