Castillo de Sotopalacios, Medieval castle in Sotopalacios, Spain.
The fortress features a square layout with three corner towers, constructed with stone blocks around a central courtyard near the Ubierna River.
The castle dates from the 15th century and connects to the legend of El Cid, as scholars suggest it stands on Diego Lainez's former estate.
The structure gained protection status as a Heritage of Cultural Interest through a national decree issued on April 22, 1949.
The castle remains in private ownership and visitors can observe its exterior by following a marked path crossing the Ubierna River.
The castle incorporated a moat system that utilized water from the Ubierna River's mill channel to enhance its defenses.
