Vejer de la Frontera

The town of Vejer de la Frontera is an architectural ensemble that blends Moorish heritage with classic Castilian settlement styles. Its historic center is enclosed by a 14th-century defensive wall featuring well-preserved gates and watchtowers. Within the labyrinth of narrow streets, whitewashed houses feature traditional inner patios decorated with ceramics and plants. Major landmarks include the Gothic-Mudéjar Church of the Divine Saviour and an ancient castle built on the site of a Moorish fortress. The town is also noted for its historic windmills, which were traditionally used for grinding grain in this region of Andalusia.
