Castle of Zafra, Medieval castle in Campillo de Dueñas, Spain.
The Castle of Zafra stands on a sandstone outcrop at 1,400 meters elevation, with defensive walls rising directly from the natural rock formation.
Originally constructed by Moors in the 11th century, the castle changed hands during the Reconquista in 1129 when Christian forces from the north gained control.
The castle contains architectural elements from different periods, including a Gothic doorway with pointed arches and a preserved water cistern in the parade grounds.
Visitors can view the castle exterior and surrounding landscape from a designated viewpoint, as the interior remains closed during ongoing restoration work.
The fortress structure presents an architectural puzzle, as the limited space within its walls suggests the existence of hidden caves carved into the foundation rock.
