Castillo de San Esteban de Gormaz, Medieval fortress in San Esteban de Gormaz, Spain
The castle stands on a hilltop position with a long, narrow base structure overlooking the Douro River and its historic bridge.
Built around 956 AD during the reign of Caliph al-Hakam II, the fortress changed hands multiple times between Muslim and Christian forces during the Reconquista period.
The castle represents a combination of Muslim and Christian architectural elements, featuring carved ashlars of Roman origin in its construction methods.
Visitors can explore the remaining walls, rooms, and underground cisterns while accessing information about opening hours through the local tourism office.
The castle contains a preserved Muslim-origin wall that extends down the hill toward Valdizán, connecting to an ancient defensive network.
