Peñafiel Castle, Medieval castle in Peñafiel, Spain
The castle extends 210 meters along a hilltop, featuring a central keep with eight turrets and two courtyards overlooking the Duero River valley.
Construction began in 947 by Fernan Gonzalez as a frontier outpost, with later additions by Spanish nobility including Juan Manuel and Pedro Giron.
The Provincial Museum-Foundation of Valladolid Wines operates within the castle walls, presenting the wine-making traditions of the Ribera del Duero region.
Guided tours cost 6.20 euros for adults, including access to both the castle structures and the wine museum through the single entrance door.
Queen Blanche I of Navarre gave birth to Charles, Prince of Viana, in the castle keep during 1421, marking a significant royal connection.
