Castillo de Aínsa, Medieval castle in Aínsa-Sobrarbe, Spain.

The castle features an irregular layout with towers at each corner, constructed using ashlar masonry reinforced at the angles with stone blocks.

Built in the 11th century as a border fortification, the castle underwent substantial modifications in the 17th century by engineer Tiburcio Spanochi.

The castle grounds currently host local fairs and concerts, maintaining its role as a central gathering place for community events.

Two towers house museums dedicated to Pyrenean wildlife and regional geology, offering educational experiences about local natural heritage.

The fortress walls reach 14 meters in height from the interior and contain numerous gun ports designed specifically for artillery placement.
