Castrodouro Castle, Medieval fortress in O Castro de Ouro, Spain
The stone castle stands on a hill with a central tower, outer walls, and multiple windows offering views across the Galician landscape.
Built over a first-century Roman settlement, the castle transformed from a monastery to a fortress before becoming Episcopal residence in the fifteenth century.
The fortress contains exhibition halls displaying artifacts and documents that narrate the history of the Mindoniense diocese and local noble families.
Visitors can explore the castle from Wednesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 14:00, and 16:30 to 20:30, with guided tours available at the tourism office.
The castle served as the residence of Marshal Pardo de Cela until 1483, when the Catholic Monarchs ordered his execution and seized the property.
