Castillo de A Peroxa
Spain, Spain
Castillo de A Peroxa, perched atop a prehistoric castro hill overlooking the Rial stream valley near the Miño River in Ourense province, Galicia, Spain, traces its origins to an 8th-century fortress commissioned by the Temes family to shield lands from Muslim incursions.
Rebuilt in the 13th-14th centuries by Fernández de Castro amid feudal strife, it endured Irmandiño revolts that demolished it in the 1460s, later serving as a noble residence before falling into picturesque ruins amid terraced vineyards of the Ribeira Sacra.
Today, its fragmented walls, towers, and cistern offer hikers a glimpse into Galicia's turbulent medieval past within a scenic, lesser-visited cultural landscape.
