Morón de la Frontera

Morón de la Frontera stands below a castle that watched over the border country between the plains and hills of Andalusia. The fortress belonged to the chain of strongholds facing Granada. In 1461 the town passed to the Téllez-Girón family, and when its lord became Duke of Osuna in 1562, Morón became part of that duchy. Its castle remained a prominent sign of its frontier past.
