Castle of Caracena, Medieval fortress in Caracena, Spain
The Castle of Caracena features two enclosures with circular towers, including a trapezoidal interior section and defensive structures positioned along the perimeter walls.
The castle's documentation dates to 1136, when it became the subject of a territorial dispute between the dioceses of Osma and Sigüenza.
The structure stands as a representation of medieval military engineering, demonstrating the architectural and defensive techniques employed during Spain's castle-building period.
The castle site requires advance planning for visits, with access available through local municipal authorities in the Soria province of Castile and León.
Inside the fortress walls, visitors can examine an ancient water storage system situated next to one of the primary defensive towers.
