    Three kilometers from the town of Fariza, we find the beautiful hermitage of the Virgen del Castillo, a sanctuary located on a fort perched above the deep course of the Duero River, and near the Las Barrancas viewpoint.

      The Hermitage of the Virgen del Castillo in Fariza, Zamora, is a place of great historical, spiritual, and scenic value, nestled in the heart of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park.
      It sits atop a hill, offering spectacular views of the Duero canyon, right on the natural border between Spain and Portugal. Nearby is the Mirador de la Virgen del Castillo, considered one of the most beautiful in the Arribes.
