El castillo de Burgalimar (del árabe Burj al-Hamma, 'torre de los Baños'), es una fortaleza califal, construida en el siglo x sobre un pequeño cerro que domina la localidad de Baños de la Encina, situada en el norte de la provincia de Jaén (Andalucía, España).
Rodeado y flanqueado por una robusta y almenada muralla con catorce torres, más una decimoquinta torre del homenaje de factura cristiana, el castillo apenas ha sufrido daños, ya sean causados por el tiempo o la acción humana. Representa por tanto un ejemplo perfecto de fortaleza andalusí del siglo x, y constituye el conjunto fortificado mejor preservado de la época califal, al mismo tiempo que es uno de los castillos musulmanes mejor conservados de toda España. Su inestimable valor histórico y artístico es la razón por la que este castillo llegó a ser declarado como Monumento Nacional en 1931.1os de la Encina (Jaén)

I know I should have paid more attention to getting this symmetrical in camera, but I was too busy setting up the tripod (cos I didn't want to bump the ISO up any further) and then having to pick it (the tripod) up and rush to the side of the road to avoid traffic, then dash back and set it up again and every second the light was fading quickly. I tried cropping it in PP to make it symmetrical but in the end just couldn't bring myself to cut out any of those golden trees, so here is...imperfectly composed, but what the heck!!
