Picoña Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Calvos de Randín, Spain.
Located in Ourense province, Picoña Castle features stone ruins with preserved pillars and a rock-carved cistern on elevated terrain.
Built in the 12th century over a Callaeci fort, the castle faced destruction in 1650 during the Portuguese War of Restoration by Castilian forces.
The castle grounds served as the administrative center of Terras da Piconha until 1866, when the territory transferred from Portugal to Spain.
Visitors can reach the castle site through regional roads connecting from major Galician cities like Vigo and Santiago de Compostela.
The castle maintained an unusual territorial status, documented in 1756 as being physically in Galicia while remaining administratively Portuguese.
