Cueva-prisión de Medrano, Cave and monument in Argamasilla de Alba, Spain.
The Medrano Prison Cave features two distinct levels connected by a central corridor carved into the natural bedrock of the region.
The cave gained recognition in the early 17th century when it belonged to the influential Medrano family of Argamasilla de Alba.
The site received recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site in 1972, emphasizing its connection to Spanish literature and regional architecture.
Visitors can access the cave through a narrow staircase from the house courtyard, with tours available through the local tourism office.
