Monterrey Castle, Medieval castle in Verín, Spain

The castle stands on a hilltop with three defensive wall rings, featuring the Ladies Tower and the Keep as main exterior elements.

Built in the 12th century during conflicts with Portugal, the castle received multiple additions, including the Keep constructed by Sancho Sánchez de Ulloa in 1482.

The fortress incorporates a Pilgrims Hospital from 1391, displaying Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements with detailed relief work on its decorated doorway.

Located 4 kilometers from Verín center, the castle operates as a Parador hotel accessible through a short uphill walk from the parking area.

The castle walls contain remnants of an abandoned 19th-century town, a monastery, and a hospital complex within its fortified perimeter.
