Peñafiel Castle, Medieval castle in Peñafiel, Spain
The fortress extends 210 meters in length and 33 meters in width on a hill between the Duratón and Botijas valleys.
Count Fernan Gonzalez initiated the construction in 947 as a frontier outpost against Arab forces, with major expansion in 1013 by Sancho Garcia.
The Provincial Museum-Foundation of Valladolid Wines operates within the castle, presenting the regional wine production methods and traditions.
The castle provides guided tours in Spanish language, with access through Calle del Castillo in Peñafiel, Valladolid province.
The castle structure resembles a ship, with pointed and wide towers at each end, leading to its designation as 'gran buque'.
