Osma Castle, Medieval fortress in El Burgo de Osma, Spain

The castle consists of three walled enclosures positioned on a hill between the Ucero and Avion rivers, near the former Roman city of Uxama.

Built in 912, the castle changed hands multiple times during the Christian-Muslim conflicts until its final capture by King Alfonso VI in 1088.

The fortress incorporates building materials from the ancient Roman settlement of Uxama, connecting different periods of Spanish architectural heritage.

The castle remains are open to visitors from Wednesday to Sunday, with access to the hill providing views of the surrounding landscape.

The Water Tower, situated at the base near the river, represents the only remaining structure of the third and lowest defensive enclosure.
