Castillo de Valencia del Ventoso, Medieval castle in Valencia del Ventoso, Spain.
The hexagonal fortress rises above a rock formation in the center of town with seven circular defense towers and original battlements.
The Knights Templar constructed the initial fortification until 1312, when the property transferred to the Order of Santiago for administrative purposes.
The building contains the Honor Tower in its center and features carved stone coats of arms from King Felipe II on its main facade.
The structure functioned as a local school until the late twentieth century and underwent roof renovations in 2001.
The fortress served more administrative than defensive purposes, functioning as a fortified residence rather than a traditional military castle.
