    Tips

    August 5, 2024

    The castle is located in a strategic position on an elongated hill in a bend of the Jalón River, separated by a moat. Originally, it had two towers joined by walls, although one of them has recently collapsed. The tower that still stands has a pentagonal plan and is very elongated, reminiscent of the keel of a ship.
    Today, the castle has been restored and transformed partly into a private home and partly into a hotel. Its decoration includes historical elements and antiques, such as pieces of Romanesque art and Mudejar doors.

      Perched on a hill overlooking the historic town of Arcos de Jalón and the Jalón River, the 14th-century Castillo de Somaén is an impressive monument. Now a boutique hotel. The views of the city below are incredible.

        Located at the top of the village, it has been restored in good condition. It is privately owned.
