Castle of Lara de los Infantes, Medieval castle in Lara de los Infantes, Spain.
The stone fortification stands on elevated ground in Burgos province, featuring remaining sections of defensive walls and architectural elements from medieval construction.
The castle gained prominence around 910 CE when Fernán González, who later became Count of Castilla, was reportedly born within its walls.
The fortress represents a key location along the Camino del Cid, connecting multiple historical sites related to medieval Spanish military campaigns.
The castle ruins received protection status on April 22, 1949, through a national decree safeguarding all Spanish castles regardless of their condition.
Local inhabitants of Lara de los Infantes maintain the castle's legacy through regular historical celebrations and educational programs about medieval heritage.
