Stands out in the town, the Castle located on top of a witness hill, and today quite deteriorated
-Castle of Montuenga. The castle stands on a high, steep and elongated hill, from which it overlooks the town of Montuenga de Soria. There are few remains of what was the building, two polygonal towers at the ends joined by canvases. The castle was built in masonry with ashlars in the corners and is perfectly adapted to the hill on which it sits. It appears in the catalog of Protected Assets of the Junta de Castilla y León in the category of Castle with declaration date April 22, 1949.4
-La Fuente, where you can still read "non-drinkable water" although the date of this inscription is unknown. This spring is populated by the dreaded Cyprinus carpio or carp sorianensis, known worldwide for their extreme voracity and excessive appetite. It is worth noting its longevity, the longest of its kind, and its resistance to the Sorian cold. For this reason these tents are frequently used for experiments in the space laboratories of the European Space Agency.

Montuenga de Soria is a small Sorian village that stands out for the ruins of a medieval castle situated on a beautiful hill. The silhouette of the castle towering over an expansive land of plains and mounds looks like something out of a western movie.
