Castle of Sigüenza, Medieval castle in Sigüenza, Spain.
The stone fortress sits on a hill with two defensive turrets, machicolations, and battlements protecting the main entrance through a 14th-century bulwark.
Bishop Bernardo de Agén conquered the castle from Muslim control in 1124, establishing it as an episcopal residence that continued until the 19th century.
The castle stands as a representation of medieval ecclesiastical power, combining military architecture with spaces designed for religious administrative functions.
The castle functions as a Parador Nacional hotel since 1976, offering accommodations in restored rooms that maintain the medieval character of the structure.
In 1355, King Pedro I of Castile imprisoned his wife Blanca de Borbón within the castle walls for four years during political conflicts.
