    The castle located in the town of Fuentes de Valdepero has a close relationship with the Sarmiento family, who were prominent landowners in the area since the 13th century. The castle was built between 1442 and 1465 by Diego Pérez Sarmiento, third lord of the town and Count of Santa Marta. Archaeological excavations confirm this chronology and reveal the presence of family coats of arms in the castle.
