Tips
The Castle of Enrique II of Trastámara is one of the most surprising and best preserved that we can find in the province of Salamanca. It is located in Ciudad Rodrigo, just 30 kilometers from the border with Portugal. Its objective was to defend the entrance to the bridge located over the Águeda river.

Built for surveillance and defense purposes, the Castle and its walls stand out in the landscape even coming from the neighboring country of Portugal. In a military Gothic style and with an imposing tower, its construction was begun by Fernando II and finished by Enrique II of Trastámara in the year 1372.
Today it can be visited and deserves to do so. The walled enclosure houses a National Tourism Parador and it is recommendable to take a walk through the gardens and especially the route bordering the wall and enjoy the beautiful views out of the city.translated by•December 13, 2022
