Castillo de Jarandilla de la Vera, Medieval castle and Parador in Jarandilla de la Vera, Spain
The castle features a quadrangular design with cylindrical towers at each corner, enclosing a central courtyard with Gothic architectural elements.
Built in the 13th century as part of the Plasencia territory, the castle served as a temporary residence for King Charles I before his retirement to Yuste Monastery.
The castle maintains its medieval structure while functioning as a Parador hotel, connecting visitors with Spanish architectural and hospitality traditions.
Located in Cáceres province, the castle offers guided tours and accommodations through the Paradores network, with year-round access for visitors.
The castle's main tower notably lacks the typical battlements found in other Spanish fortifications, setting it apart from conventional medieval architecture.
