As it was said, the beauty of it resides in the essence of the village. However, there are some places that help this village to be as special as it is. The Alcázar de Arcos de La Frontera is one of those. It is located in the historic centre, in one of the upper parts of the village, letting its shape be seen from different parts of the village. It is a building from the XI century but it suffered several modifications with time because it was under the influence of different civilizations. It used to be a defence spot with its three towers and walls presiding. Now, it is considered a Place of Cultural Interest.
