Miranda del Castañar Castle
Miranda del Castañar Castle, Medieval castle in Miranda del Castañar, Spain
The fortress features two distinct towers connected by a central structure, with round artillery loopholes integrated into its granite and masonry walls.
Built during the 15th century, the castle underwent changes when García Alvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alba, seized control from the Zúñiga family.
The castle stands as a national heritage site, representing the military architecture and defensive systems of medieval Spain's noble residences.
From March through July, visitors can access the castle on weekends and holidays between 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The castle incorporates a circular defensive perimeter with multiple fortified sections and pointed arch doorways characteristic of 15th-century military design.
