Castle of Burguillos del Cerro, Medieval castle in Burguillos del Cerro, Spain.
The fortress features a rectangular layout with two main towers, the Torre Parda and Torre del Homenaje, along with three smaller defensive structures.
Fernando III of Castile and León granted the castle to the Knights Templar in 1238, who controlled it until their dissolution in the early 14th century.
The castle entrance displays a Gothic doorway adorned with the Zúñiga family coat of arms, representing the noble lineage that owned the fortress.
The castle maintains regular visiting hours and underwent recent restoration work to ensure structural stability for public access and exploration.
The Torre del Homenaje contains two domed chambers connected by an internal staircase, with a protruding machicolation protecting the main entrance.
