The oddity, explained

Why is Castle of Alcocer unusual?

Castle of Alcocer appears here because the approved source classifies it as heritage. The source describes it as fort whose conquest by El Cid in 1081, is recounted in Cantar de Mío Cid. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural.

Evidence and further exploration

The coordinate, category and description remain tied to the cited source. Comparative oddness helps discovery; it does not add facts that the source does not provide.
