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.
