Araklovon Castle was a medieval Byzantine fortress situated in the Skorta region of southwestern Peloponnese, in what is now the Elis Regional Unit of Greece. The castle, also known by variants including Oreoklovon and the French designation Bucelet, exemplifies Byzantine military architecture of its era, though few structural details survive in the historical record.
