Albanchez de Mágina Castle is a Spanish fortification and Bien de Interés Cultural landmark in the Province of Jaén. It is located on the eastern slope of La Serrezuela, in Albanchez de Mágina in a very rugged area, at an elevation of 950 meters (3,120 ft), overlooking a large valley. While the exact date of construction is not known, some authors (Cerezo and Eslava) speculate it could date to the 14th century.
