Castle of Puñoenrostro, Medieval castle in Seseña, Spain

The Castle of Puñoenrostro stands on a hill, featuring a square central tower with corner cylinders, measuring 40 meters on each side and 35 meters in height.

Built in the 14th century, the castle was granted by King Henry IV of Castile to his secretary Diego Arias de Ávila, who later sold it with its surrounding land in 1862.

The castle received official protection status in 1949 through a decree that established state protection for all Spanish castles, regardless of their conservation status.

The fortress maintains three vaulted underground stables and a large cobblestone interior courtyard, although most of the interior has deteriorated over time.

The main eastern entrance, formerly accessed by a drawbridge, now features a fixed bridge crossing the ancient moat that once encircled the entire structure.
