Sora Castle, Medieval fortress in Castejón de Valdejasa, Spain
The castle extends over one hundred meters along an elongated hilltop, featuring defensive walls with arrow slits and a square watchtower.
Built in the 9th century during the Upper March of Al-Andalus period, the fortress controlled the Roman road connecting Zaragoza to Pamplona.
The architecture combines Islamic military elements from its original construction with Christian modifications made during subsequent centuries of occupation.
The castle stands on private property 6 kilometers northwest of Castejón de Valdejasa, accessible via a maintained dirt road from the town.
The homage tower, renovated in the 16th century by the Duke of Villahermosa, represents the last Renaissance military structure built in Aragon.
