Castle of Pelegrina, Medieval castle in Sigüenza, Spain.

The Castle of Pelegrina rises on a strategic position near the Dulce River valley, featuring solid corner towers and defensive walls constructed in stone.

During the War of Independence in the early 1800s, Napoleon's forces dismantled sections of the castle to prevent its use by local resistance fighters.

The Spanish government designated the Castle of Pelegrina as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1949, recognizing its value as a national monument.

Visitors can access the castle grounds without payment and combine their visit with exploration of the surrounding Dulce River Ravine natural reserve.

The castle's name derives from Latin, reflecting its location with views across the valley, near the ancient Roman Road of Emérita Augusta.
