Castle of Aguilar de Campoo, Medieval fortress in Aguilar de Campoo, Spain
The castle stands on a rocky promontory at 970 meters elevation, featuring a trapezoidal layout with remaining exterior walls and towers.
The defensive tower was first documented in 1039 and underwent multiple modifications during the 12th and 14th centuries to enhance military capabilities.
The castle contains remnants of coats of arms near its eastern entrance, which displays a pointed arch characteristic of medieval Spanish architecture.
The castle remains are accessible to visitors through the tourist office at Paseo Cascajera 10 in Aguilar de Campoo, Palencia province.
Cardinal Pedro Gómez Barroso was imprisoned in this fortress under orders from King Pedro the Cruel for criticizing the detention of Blanca de Borbón.
