Castle of Turégano, Medieval fortress in Turégano, Spain.

The Castle of Turégano stands with circular towers and a Baroque steeple, incorporating the Church of San Miguel within its rectangular structure.

The fortress originated from Celtiberian times and served as a prison for Antonio Pérez, secretary of King Philip II, during the late 16th century.

The integration of military elements with the Romanesque Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel represents the dual purpose of defense and worship in medieval Spain.

The castle opens Thursday through Sunday with guided tours in Spanish at 8 euros, operating from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM during summer months.

Architects Juan Guas and Gil de Hontañón transformed this Arabic fortress into a distinctive church-castle complex during the 15th and 16th centuries.
