Castle of Olmillos de Sasamón, Medieval castle in Olmillos de Sasamón, Spain.

The Castle of Olmillos de Sasamón features stone walls, corner towers, and a central courtyard, representing military architecture from the 15th century.

Don Pedro de Cartagena, a converted Jewish nobleman from Burgos, initiated the construction of this residential fortress in 1446.

The castle displays the Cartagena family crest and demonstrates the architectural preferences of Spanish nobility during the medieval period.

French invasion forces caused substantial damage to the castle in 1812 when guerrillas Santos Padilla and Melchor Cossío set it on fire.
