알말루에즈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 동굴

In Momtuenga, its castle stands out, quite curious despite its poor condition because two of its walls are made of adobe.

15th-16th Century Castle Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Closed Monday and Tuesday. This Gothic-Renaissance castle-palace, associated with the Mendoza family, has a pentagonal floor plan. At its corners rise towers of varying shapes and sizes; three stand out: the western tower, circular; the southern tower, rectangular; and the eastern tower, octagonal on the exterior and hexagonal on the interior. All are connected by a wall-walk. The towers and walls are crowned with striking crenellations. It has two gates, the main gate and a false gate, both with pointed arches and defended by machicolations. Inside, the Renaissance arcaded courtyard is particularly noteworthy, featuring a double gallery and beautiful Plateresque plasterwork decoration on the upper level. A passageway in the western wall once connected the castle to the church.

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

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.

Pretty ruins of a castle

The castle of Monreal de Ariza was built by order of the Aragonese king Alfonso I, the fighter, to defend his border from Muslim and Castilian attacks. Today in ruins, the vision of this fortress must have commanded a lot of respect among those who wanted to take it.

This stretch of track between fields gives you a very constant view of the landscape on the Camino del Cid between Soria and Guadalajara. Long gravel tracks between cereal fields and, of course, the views of the ruins of the castle of Montuenga. This is an old medieval fortress that was part of the defense line of the Jalón river.
