Castle of Tiedra, Medieval fortress in Tiedra, Spain
The rectangular castle rises on a strategic hill overlooking the Duero Valley, featuring a central keep measuring 20 meters in height with 2.5-meter-thick walls.
The first documented reference of the castle dates to the eleventh century when King Sancho II proposed to grant the lands of Tiedra to his sister Urraca.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of medieval military structures in Castile, incorporating both circular towers and a rectangular keep within its defensive design.
The castle remains closed to public access, but visitors can observe its exterior structure and photograph the fortification against the backdrop of surrounding wheat fields.
The fortress includes a rare combination of two circular towers and a dry moat on its western side, with a perimeter extending 115 meters around the main structure.
