Castillo de Calatañazor, Medieval castle in Soria Province, Spain.

The castle features remnants of stone walls, watchtowers, and a main keep positioned on a hill above the village of Calatañazor.

Built during the 12th century, this fortress served as a defensive structure during conflicts between Christian and Moorish kingdoms in medieval Spain.

The name Calatañazor originates from Arabic 'Qalat al-Nasur', meaning castle of the vulture, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the region.

The castle grounds remain open for visitors who can access the site through a path leading from the village of Calatañazor.

Below the castle lies a triple tomb carved into the rock, dating from the 10th century, predating the current structure.
