Castle of Riba de Santiuste, Medieval castle in Sigüenza, Spain.
The Castle of Riba de Santiuste is a medieval fortress perched on a hilltop above Sigüenza. It features four defensive towers surrounding a small courtyard and is reached by a narrow access path.
The fortress was built in the 12th century and placed under the bishop of Sigüenza's control. In the 15th century it served as a base for attacks on the city until it was reclaimed.
The castle received recognition as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1992, marking its status as a protected cultural heritage site in Spain.
Access is via a narrow path leading up to the gate. The location sits exposed on the hilltop with little shelter from weather conditions.
During the 15th century, Navarrese forces used this mountaintop castle as their base to conduct raids on Sigüenza until Dean López de Madrid reclaimed it.
