The ruins of the Besora castle and the Romanesque church of Santa María are located on a hill at more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is worth calmly exploring each of its corners and enjoying the beautiful views.

All that remains of the castle are badly damaged fragments of walls. The only clearly visible remains are those of the castle's church, dedicated to Santa Maria, and which allow us to see that it was a construction of a nave topped to the east by a semicircular apse. The nave and the apse, preceded by a presbytery section, were covered by barrel vaults.

As for the remains of the castle itself, you can see the remains of the closing wall in the northern area of the hill, around the area of access and entrance to the castle. In this same northern area, remains of several rooms of the castle appear. A possible cistern is also located in this sector. In the central part, there would be a pool, documented during the excavation work of the 2006-2010 campaigns. In the southern area, close to the precipice, there are also very eroded fragments of the closing wall.

We enjoy a fantastic 360º panorama.
