The Castillo del Moral or Castillo de Lucena is located in the historic centre of this locality, near the Plaza de España and the Church of San Mateo.
It was built after the Almoravids arrived in Lucena in the year 1148, although the existence of Iberian and Roman remains underground is not ruled out. Its layout is rectangular with four towers and a central parade ground.
A very representative element of this castle is the Torre del Moral. Not only because it is the most prominent in terms of shape and octagonal roof, but also because it was the place where the Nasrid Sultan Boabdil was imprisoned during the Battle of Lucena.
Today this monument houses the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Lucena, after its museumisation between 2001 and 2003.
