Castle of Narros de Saldueña, Medieval fortress in Narros de Saldueña, Spain.

The castle features a rectangular tower displaying the coats of arms of Valderrábano and Guzmán families, alongside an adjacent rectangular fortress.

Built in the 15th century by Rodrigo de Valderrábano, regent of Ávila, the castle was later occupied by French troops during the War of Independence.

The castle follows architectural patterns of the Valladolid School, representing military medieval architecture in the province of Ávila.

Located 36 kilometers from Ávila, 77 kilometers from Salamanca, and 148 kilometers from Madrid, at an altitude of 900 meters.

The fortress lacks typical defensive elements such as moats, indicating its primary function as a residential palace rather than a military stronghold.
