Castillo de Corbanera, Military castle in Monte, Santander, Spain
The circular fortress measures 50 meters in diameter with four semicircular towers and crenellated walls containing rifle loopholes throughout its perimeter.
Built in 1874 by architect José Almirante y Torroella, this fortification protected Santander against potential attacks during the Third Carlist War of 1872-1876.
The castle represents a protected cultural heritage site and contains architectural elements from the neo-medieval military design of the late 19th century.
Access to the castle remains restricted due to private ownership, though visitors can observe its exterior structure from various points in Monte.
During the Spanish Civil War, the central tower received a concrete extension, and later, residential houses were constructed within the castle walls.
