Oropesa Castle, Medieval castle and parador in Oropesa, Toledo Province, Spain
The stone fortress stands on high ground with cylindrical towers, rectangular battlements, and fortified walls overlooking the surrounding Toledo landscapes.
The castle originated as a Vettones watchtower, later expanded by Romans and Muslims before becoming the residence of the Counts of Oropesa until the 1800s.
The castle holds the distinction of becoming Spain's first historic building converted into a parador in 1929, establishing a new model for heritage preservation.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds, stay in the four-star parador hotel, and participate in guided tours that explain the fortress's architectural features.
King Alfonso XIII's 1930 visit to the newly established parador included a public address from the New Palace balcony, marking royal approval of this accommodation concept.
