Castle of Torija, Medieval castle in Torija, Spain.
The Castle of Torija features a rectangular structure with three round towers and a large square keep built from Alcarria limestone blocks.
The Knights Templar constructed the fortress in the 11th century, which later became a strategic point during conflicts between Aragon and Castile.
The castle houses a museum dedicated to writer Camilo José Cela's book 'Viaje a La Alcarria' and functions as the Guadalajara Provincial Tourist Center.
Located 84 kilometers from Madrid via the A-2 highway, the castle opens Tuesday through Sunday with extended hours on Saturdays from 10 AM to 8 PM.
The castle's walls maintain their original thin construction, indicating they were built before the widespread use of artillery in military conflicts.
