Castillo de Moguer is a fortified castle in the town of Moguer, in the province of Huelva, Spain, built in mud-based mortar mixed with gravel, clay, and lime in the Mudéjar architectural style. Renovated and enlarged during the 14th century, the structure follows an imperfect square plan measuring 44 by 45 metres, anchored by four corner towers, each 9 by 9 metres and topped with battlements. Each tower contains two chambers beneath covered brick domes. A moat once surrounded the castle, though it is no longer visible today; access was originally gained via a ramp on the northwest side, now Santo Domingo Street. An 18th-century cellar (22 by 10.5 metres) now houses the town's Tourist Office. The castle is designated a bien de interés cultural, Spain's official heritage status.
