Cuéllar Castle, Medieval castle in Cuéllar, Spain
Cuéllar Castle is a fortress in central Spain that displays multiple building phases from medieval defensive structures to later noble transformations. The structure spans various levels with towers, interior courtyards, and a Renaissance facade where Gothic elements remain visible.
The structure began as a defensive outpost in the 11th century during the Christian reconquest of the region. In the 15th century, the Dukes of Alburquerque purchased it and transformed it into a grand residence.
The castle displays layers of architectural styles that reflect the wealth and power of those who ruled from here. Walking through its spaces shows how different periods of prosperity shaped the building we see today.
Tours starting from the town's tourist office provide the most complete experience and include both exterior and interior spaces. The paths across the grounds are steep and uneven, so comfortable walking shoes and some stamina help when exploring all the levels.
The castle serves as a public secondary school building today while holding the status of a national cultural monument. This dual function is uncommon and shows how historic structures continue to house living communities in modern Spain.
