Castle of El Mirón, Medieval fortress in El Mirón, Spain.
The castle contains a rectangular tower constructed with rough stonework and reinforced corners, standing at the highest point of an extensive walled area.
Alfonso X founded this stronghold in 1254 for his brother Felipe, which later became part of the Valdecorneja territory under the Alba duchy.
The castle structure displays medieval defensive architecture with its one-meter-thick masonry walls, incorporating narrow window slits for surveillance purposes.
Located within El Mirón village limits at 1,295 meters above sea level, the castle grounds remain open to visitors without entrance fees.
From the castle walls, visitors can observe four mountain ranges: Peña Negra, Villatoro, La Serrota, and Gredos stretching across the horizon.
