Miranda del Castañar, Medieval town in Sierra de Francia, Spain
Miranda del Castañar stands on a hill at the confluence of the Alagón and Francia rivers, protected by a 600-meter wall with four gates.
The 15th-century castle and the Plaza de Armas form the central defensive complex of this town, which housed both Jewish and Morisco communities.
Traditional architecture combines popular masonry with wooden elements typical of Sierra de Salamanca, visible in the noble houses built of ashlar stone.
The tourism office in the Town Hall, housed in the 1585 Alhóndiga building, provides information about accommodation options and guided visits.
The town maintains two original hermitages outside its walls: El Humilladero and La Virgen de la Cuesta, connected by marked forest trails.
