Castillo Palacio de los Condes de Oropesa

Castillo Palacio de los Condes de Oropesa, Medieval castle and palace in Jarandilla de la Vera, Spain.

The castle features four towers, including two square and two circular ones, surrounding a central courtyard with Gothic galleries and carved stone windows.

Emperor Charles V resided in this fortress for three months in 1556 while waiting for the completion of his residence at Yuste Monastery.

The entrance door displays a double-headed eagle shield, while the courtyard contains heraldic emblems of the noble families Alvarez de Toledo and Figueroa.

The castle now operates as a National Parador hotel, offering accommodations in rooms decorated with period furniture and modern amenities since 1966.

The original entrance included a drawbridge over a moat, connecting to defensive walls that protected this 15th-century stone structure.
