Rojas Castle, Poza de la Sal, Medieval fortress in Poza de la Sal, Spain.
The stone castle stands on a hilltop above Poza de la Sal, featuring defensive walls and a central tower that overlooks the surrounding landscape.
The original structure emerged around 884 during the reign of Count Diego Rodriguez Porcelos, who built it as part of the regional defense system.
The castle received the Bien de Interés Cultural designation, marking its position as a protected monument within Spain's national heritage preservation system.
The fortress remains accessible throughout the year, with visitors able to reach it by following marked paths from the town center of Poza de la Sal.
French troops renovated the castle in 1808, transforming it into a military post that faced repeated attacks from Burgos garrisons during the Independence War.
