Magaña Castle, Medieval fortress in Soria Province, Spain.

Magaña Castle is a ruined medieval fortress built of masonry, with a double enclosure around a keep of Berber origin. The tall inner ward has a square plan, the keep standing at one corner and two round turrets at the other two. The lower outer wall follows an irregular line with seven turrets around its perimeter.

The keep may predate the rest of the fortress, though no firm proof exists. Scholars propose two building phases in the 15th century: the inner enclosure first, then the outer wall with artillery openings, possibly under Rodrigo Alonso Pimentel. The castle belongs to the señorial type linked to the Valladolid school.

The castle displays architectural features that were common in northern Castile during the 15th century and shaped how fortifications were built in the region. Visitors can see how defensive techniques of that era were put into practice in the walls and towers.

The site is open year-round with varying schedules depending on the season. Check with the local tourism office beforehand for current information about access and conditions.

The keep may predate the rest of the fortress, though no firm proof exists; its origin is linked to Berber building traditions of the 9th to 11th centuries. The inner enclosure and the outer wall with artillery openings are both dated to the 15th century, the latter possibly under Rodrigo Alonso Pimentel.
