Castle of Zafra, Medieval fortress in Campillo de Dueñas, Spain
The Castle of Zafra stands on a sandstone outcrop at 1,400 meters elevation, featuring an entrance tower, courtyard, and Tower of Homage.
The original fortress, built in the 12th century by the de Lara family, successfully withstood a siege from King Fernando III of Castile in 1222.
The castle marks the former boundary between Christian and Muslim territories, representing centuries of territorial control shifts during medieval Spain.
Access to the castle requires advance permission from the owners, and reaching the site demands either hiking or using off-road vehicles.
The castle interior contains chambers and kitchens within its defensive walls, designed to accommodate up to 500 people during medieval times.
