Castillo de Samitier, Romanesque defensive castle in La Fueva, Spain.
The Samitier Castle features a hexagonal tower connected to a church of Saint Emeterius and Celedonius, strategically positioned above Mediano reservoir.
The fortress emerged during military campaigns against Muslim positions between 1063-1064, under the reign of either Ramiro I or Sancho Ramirez.
The castle forms part of a network of fortifications that communicated visually with other defensive structures across the Aragonese territory.
Visitors must walk two kilometers on a passable track from Samitier village to reach the castle, located 17 kilometers from Ainsa.
The main tower contained at least two floors with arrow slits on its facades and controlled access through a removable staircase.
