Castle of Urueña, Medieval fortress in Urueña, Spain.
The Castle of Urueña stands on a plateau with square ground plan and round towers overlooking the Tierra de Campos landscape in Valladolid Province.
The strategic fortress changed control between kingdoms of León and Castile until 1281, when Castilian forces secured final control of this military position.
The fortification exhibits Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure, representing military construction techniques from medieval Spanish defensive architecture.
The Town Hall of Urueña provides visitor information, maps, and schedules for castle visits, with different operating hours during summer and winter seasons.
The castle remains part of a preserved medieval village that now functions as an International Book Town, containing numerous antiquarian bookshops within its walls.
