Castle of Atienza, Medieval fortress in Atienza, Spain.
The Castle of Atienza rises above a rocky hill with two concentric walls enclosing the main fortress and residential districts.
The castle changed control between Muslim and Christian rulers until Alfonso VI captured it in 1085, marking a turning point in regional power.
The fortress holds the status of Bien de Interés Cultural since 1931, recognizing its significance in Spanish architectural heritage.
Two covered water cisterns carved into the rock inside the castle provided essential water storage for the inhabitants during sieges.
The castle features underground tunnels that connected the fortress to local churches, creating a network beneath the medieval town.
