Sobroso Castle, Medieval castle in Vilasobroso, Spain.
The stone fortress stands on Landín Hill, featuring a rectangular tower rising 13 meters high and overlooking the Condado valley toward Portugal.
Built in the 9th century, the castle gained recognition as a strategic point during conflicts, including the imprisonment of Queen Urraca in 1117.
The castle houses an ethnographic museum displaying traditional crafts, linen manufacturing processes, and regional costumes from southern Pontevedra.
The castle opens Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 in winter, with extended hours during summer months.
The name Sobroso derives from Latin SUBEROSUM, referring to cork oak trees that previously covered the surrounding landscape.
