Calatañazor, Medieval municipality in Soria Province, Spain
Located on a limestone outcrop at 1059 meters elevation, Calatañazor maintains narrow cobblestone streets connecting traditional stone houses with wooden frameworks.
The Battle of Calatañazor in 1002 marked a turning point in Spanish history when Christian forces defeated the Moorish army in the valley between Calatañazor and Abioncillo.
The Church of Santa Maria del Castillo combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, displaying religious artifacts from the 11th century within its stone walls.
The municipality includes two additional hamlets, Aldehuela and Abioncillo, with the latter transformed into an educational center focusing on environmental studies.
The Plaza Mayor features an ancient fossil known as the Stone of the Fan, dating back between 11 to 20 million years, alongside a medieval justice column.
