Fortaleza de Sarria, Medieval castle in Sarria, Spain.

The fortress contains a preserved tower known as Torre del Batallón, reaching 14 meters high with stone walls and defensive elements.

The castle, dating from the 12th century, underwent reconstruction after the Irmandiña Revolt between 1467 and 1469 when local peasants destroyed it.

The structure displays carved coats of arms representing the Castro, Enríquez, and Osorio families who controlled this strategic location through centuries.

Visitors can reach the castle by walking up Rúa do Castelo street in the old town section of Sarria.

The fortress features an internal vault positioned seven meters above ground level within the remaining tower structure.
