Castle of Soutomaior, Medieval castle in Soutomaior, Spain.

The castle incorporates two primary towers connected by a residential structure, enclosed within a double wall system at 119 meters above sea level.

Pedro Álvarez de Soutomaior directed the reconstruction of the fortress in the 15th century after the Irmandiño revolts, introducing firearm adaptations to the structure.

The castle houses an exhibition that presents its evolution through audiovisual displays, 3D recreations, and video mapping installations explaining regional medieval life.

The castle grounds extend across 25 hectares of forests and gardens, offering three distinct walking routes through collections of century-old trees and camellia gardens.

The site combines a medieval fortress with a 19th-century Neo-Gothic palace design, reflecting architectural transformations from different historical periods.
