Oropesa, Historical municipality in Toledo Province, Spain
Oropesa is a municipality in Toledo Province that sits on elevated terrain in central Spain. The town centers around its castle, which dominates the landscape and connects the older residential areas that spread across the hillside.
The site traces back to an ancient settlement called Otobesa that existed before Roman times. The modern town developed around the castle built in the 15th century, which attracted nobility from Toledo to establish themselves here.
The Jornadas Medievales festival in April brings the medieval heritage to life through traditional performances, crafts demonstrations, and historical reenactments at the castle.
The town is best explored on foot since the main areas sit close together, though paths through the older part can be steep. Most visitors spend a few hours seeing the town and its castle thoroughly.
The castle now operates as a Parador, Spain's chain of hotels housed in historic buildings, letting guests stay overnight in a former noble residence. The interior still displays the original medieval architecture while offering modern comforts.
