Castle of Ucero, Medieval fortress in Ucero, Spain
The castle stands on a rocky hill overlooking the valleys of Lobos and Chico rivers, featuring triple defensive walls and a main tower.
The first documented lord of the castle, Juan González de Ucero, participated in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa alongside King Alfonso VIII in 1212.
The castle became property of the bishops of Osma, who transformed it into both a residence and a prison for clergy members during the 16th century.
Recent restoration work completed in 2015 focused on stabilizing the walls and reinforcing the rock foundations to prepare the structure for visitors.
An underground passage connects the castle to the Ucero River, designed to provide water access during sieges through an ingenious system of tunnels.
