The Castle of the Moral, also known as the Castle of Lucena, is a military fortress located in the municipality of Lucena, Córdoba, Spain. It is a significant historical site that dates back to the arrival of the Almohad Empire in the villages in 1148. The castle was strategically built to safeguard the Cora Cabra-Baena, which was possibly very unstable and governed through the control of North-South commercial caravans.
Since December 2001, the Castle of the Moral has been home to the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Lucena. The museum features ten rooms that were opened to the public in stages between 2001 and 2003. The exhibits include pieces from the Angel's Cave and there is also a space in the lobby for the tourist office.
The Castle of the Moral is conveniently located in the historic center of Lucena, near the Church of San Mateo, the Plaza de España, or the municipal market. This central location makes it easily accessible for tourists and provides an opportunity to explore other nearby attractions.
