About

Nestled in the historic town of Castellar de la Frontera, Zoo de Castellar is a unique animal rescue centre that welcomes visitors to witness the compassionate work of a private charity dedicated to animal welfare since 1998. Originally started as a shelter for animals rescued from illegal trade, the zoo has grown into a vibrant attraction, opening its gates to the public in 2002. Guests can stroll through curated enclosures, meeting a diverse range of species—from the elusive desert fox (Vulpes zerda) and the majestic Asian elephant to regional reptiles and birds—each highlighting the centre’s commitment to conservation and rehabilitation. Beyond the animal encounters, the zoo offers visitors the chance to support the rescue program through sponsorship and donation options, creating an unforgettable, meaningful experience that bridges education, empathy, and wildlife protection.
